Conquer Badwater to Hells Gate: 100 Miles Below Sea Level!

Take on one of the most epic cycling challenges in the world: the Death Valley Century. Held on November 15, 2025, this ride traverses the jaw-dropping landscapes of Death Valley National Park, from the depths of Badwater Basin—North America’s lowest point—up through the dramatic ascent to Hells Gate. Participants can choose from the classic 100-mile century, a metric century (62 miles), or a shorter half-century (50 miles).
