***The 2021 event is sold out***

Racers will check-in at Buffalo Ridge Resort on Friday, August 13th and attend a mandatory 30 minute rider meeting focused on safety, instruction and entertainment. If COVID-19 restrictions are still in play, these meetings will be held virtually. Support Crew meetings will happen during those same times. After that, racers will line up on Gary, South Dakota’s main drag for a mass midnight start signaled by a fireworks display. If COVID-19 restrictions are still in play, racers will wear provided PPE at the start and will be positioned six feet apart in starting chutes.

Each racer will then have the next 24 hours to navigate our 240 mile gravel course, or 48 hours to navigate our 480 mile gravel course…all by paper cue sheet. No GPX files will be provided. There will be three official DAMn checkpoints along the way (roughly every 60 miles) for support crews to assist their racers along the 240 mile course. Official checkpoints for the return 240 miles of The Double DAMn are dependent upon the interest level in the event. There will be unofficial support opportunities along the route, critical for racers who attempt to complete The DAMn or The Double DAMn unsupported. If COVID-19 restrictions are still in play, we reserve the right to alter these plans.

To officially finish and earn the title of ‘DAMn Champion’, a 240 mile racer must reach our Hager City, Wisconsin finish line within 24 hours and a 480 mile racer must reach our Gary, South Dakota finish line within 48 hours. Do you have what it takes?
