North Central Washington 250 (2024)

The North Central Washington (NCW) 250 is a 250-mile self supported bikepacking event that samples some of the best backcountry riding in North Central Washington during prime fall colors. The course boasts over 28,000 feet of vertical climbing and is completed in a loop. This is a race that the weekend warrior might be able to complete and be back in time for work on Monday.

Throughout your ride you will experience the diversity of the region, travelling through sagebrush steppe, traversing from the shores of Lake Chelan up to alpine yurts and lookouts, and descending flowy singletrack through ponderosa forests.
