galloping goose 50 challenge rules
Before You Ride
You may take breaks during your ride. Many riders stop at the parking lot to eat, refuel, and rest before heading back out. Just keep your recording running so the entire GG50 remains one activity.
1. Ride only Galloping Goose
Do not ride Switchback or any other trail segments.
Follow the official GG50 route:

2. Complete All 50 Miles in One Calendar Day
Your Galloping Goose miles must be ridden consecutively, recorded as ONE activity, and cannot include trail offshoots or additional segments.
No exceptions.
3. Record your own ride
Use Strava, Garmin, Wahoo, Apple Watch, your phone, or another ride-recording device.
If you are riding with a minor who does not have access to a recording device, please contact us before the challenge.
4. Submit proof of your finish
Your screenshot or ride link must clearly show:
Route
Mileage
Ride time
Date
Optional: Ride for the Trails
GG50 riders can choose to join the pledge campaign and raise money for the Crew while they ride.
Fundraising is completely optional and does not affect your eligibility as a GG50 finisher. The rider who raises the most money will receive a prize.
5. Ready to Submit?
Verified finishers will receive an email with access to purchase the exclusive 2026 GG50 finisher shirt. A portion of every purchase supports the Crew.
Submitted ride screenshots and finisher photos may be shared on the Crew’s social media pages. If you would prefer that we not share your submission, please let us know when completing the form.
Finisher photos are highly encouraged!
Our small team reviews each submission and follows up by email. Please allow a little time for verification, especially as submissions increase near the end of the challenge.
