RockStar Challenge 2025

RockStar VA Grand Depart is an annual biking event from Rocktown (Harrisonburg) to the Star City (Roanoke). There are trail/gravel and paved routes. The gravel an trail routes are limited to 75 combined participants (paved registration is unlimited). Ride Solo or as a Team!

All RockStar routes are on public land and can be travelled by anyone at any time for free! The Grand Depart is simply an idea, a fun way to get people stoked about these incredible routes. The Grand Depart inspires folks to enjoy the RockStar routes, maybe test themselves, and serves to stimulate a massive annual trail clearing effort that all trail users benefit from.
