🪿50 miles. One trail.
You love to see it. The Galloping Goose 50 is back for 2026. Mass starts are hard to fit into busy schedules, so we built a challenge that works on yours.
From September 24 - October 25, it's just you and the Goose.
The Down Low
Ride 50 miles of Galloping Goose in a single calendar day.
Nothing more. Nothing less.
Bring friends or ride solo. Question your life choices somewhere around lap six.
NEW THIS YEAR: GG50 riders can choose to raise money (& win a Yeti Roadie 15 Cooler) for the Crew while they ride. Fundraising is completely optional.
Dumb? Maybe. Fun? Absolutely.

NEW THIS YEAR: RIDE FOR THE TRAILS
Want to make your questionable decisions count for more? GG50 riders can choose to raise money for the Cuyuna Lakes Mountain Bike Crew while taking on 50 miles of Galloping Goose.
Join the pledge, share your page, and collect donations from friends, family, and fellow trail lovers. Fundraising is completely optional.
The rider who raises the most money wins a Yeti Roadie 15 Cooler thanks to Ace Hardware - Crosby.
To be eligible for the prize, your GG50 ride must be completed and submitted by October 24, before the End-of-Season Celebration + GG50 Shirt Pickup.
The fundraising winner will be announced that evening. Location TBA.
Every dollar raised supports the trails, volunteers, events, tools, and equipment that keep Cuyuna rolling.
Turn your GG50 ride into support for the trails.
FINISHED? PROVE IT.
You did the miles. Now send us the receipts
Complete the GG50 Finisher Submission Form and upload a screenshot or link showing your completed ride. Link coming soon.
Once verified, you will receive access to purchase the exclusive 2026 GG50 finisher shirt. A portion of every purchase supports the Crew.
SHIRT PICKUP & END OF SEASON CELEBRATION
Join us Saturday, October 24 for the Crew’s End-of-Season Volunteer Celebration and GG50 shirt pickup. Location and time TBA.
Finishers who order by the advance deadline may choose to pick up their shirt at the celebration on October 24.
The 2026 GG50 Challenge closes on October 25 at 11:59 p.m.
Riders who finish on October 24 or 25, or who miss the advance order deadline, may choose shipping or local pickup from Red Threads at a later date.
Because each order is fulfilled locally, shipped orders may take up to four weeks.
All shirt orders, payments, shipping, and pickup arrangements are handled directly by Red Threads in Crosby. Please contact Red Threads for inquiries on your order.
GG50 riders, Crew volunteers, and everyone who helps keep Cuyuna rolling are invited to celebrate the season and swap stories from lap six and beyond.
Volunteer recognition. A few prizes. Good people.
