The 2020 Silver State 508 is on and we are ready to race!

With concerns about COVID-19, we have modified and/or eliminated part of the pre-race and post-race gatherings, and added social distancing requirements during the race. Please see this communication concerning COVID-19’s impact on The 508 for further guidance.

We are proud to announce that The Silver State 508 is the 2020 Northern American 500 Mile Championship via the World Ultra Cycling Association (WUCA).

Founded by John Marino in 1983 and recognized as "The Toughest 48 hours in Sport," Silver State 508 is the world's premier weekend ultra cycling race. This 508-mile bicycle race is revered the world over for its epic mountain climbs, stark desert scenery, desolate roads, and its reputation as one of the toughest but most gratifying endurance challenges available, bar none.

Solo, two-person relay, and four-person relay (stage and open) divisions are offered, with sub-categories for tandems, recumbents, fixed gear, and classic bikes.

Silver State 508 is a Race Across AMerica (RAAM) Qualifier.

Silver State 508 starts and finishes in Reno, NV and crosses northern Nevada on Hwy 50, also known as "the loneliest highway in America."
