Now in its fourth edition, the 2026 Endless Mountains Adventure Race is returning to its roots as a five-day non-stop expedition race. This year's race will be headquartered out of North Adams, MA,
and the course will take you on an entirely new journey of southern Vermont. Over those five days, teams will get to explore rolling mountains, lush forests, majestic waterways, iconic gravel, and twisty single track on a course that calls to mind the Untamed New England expeditions of years past and pairs it with the classic Rootstock flair that you have come to expect from Endless.
Endless Mountains is the setting to challenge veteran adventure racers and offer an accessible entry point to those eager to take on their first expedition race. Teams of 2-4 will journey across some of New England's best adventure-land. Along the way, they will be called upon to work together to meet the challenges that only expedition racing can offer – challenging overland navigation, wild terrain, sleepmonsters, and weather that can tame even the most hardened outdoor enthusiasts. It is in those moments where the best stories are written!

About the Grand Fundo
In the cycling world, a gran fondo is a massive group ride/race, that can attract riders numbering in the thousands, encompassing all ages and ability levels. The Grand Fundo removes all the racing aspects from the ride but keeps all the all the fun. The route will take about four hours for most riders. The route is mostly dirt roads. We will have fully stocked rest stops where you can refuel and hydrate. There will be support riders and follow cars but they cannot access the trails and so please bring proper tools to fix a flat. Immediately after the ride, we hope you’ll stay and hang out with us for music and a delicious post-ride cookout, our prize drawing and more!
About the Mini Fundo
The Mini Fundo features the same challenging beginnings of the Grand Fundo but will get you back home more quickly. If you are looking for 2.5 to 3.5 hours of riding but aren’t sure you can survive the full Fundo, then the 29-mile Mini Fundo is for you. Once you return, snacks will be available until our barbecue. The Mini Fundo is by no means a walk in the park. Over the course of 29 miles, the Mini Fundo will climb over 2400 feet and ride through technical sectors of double track.
About the Adventure Route
This route is 75-80 miles, which means about five or six hours and includes more remote technical roads. 40+c tires are a must, and a 1:1 gear ratio will make the climbs much more enjoyable. This is a challenging route, but is well worth the effort.
About the youth ride
10 miles out and back, leaving at 9 as well. We provide two ride chaperones.
