Dark Divide 2026 Race Recap

Join us for an evening with the people who made it happen and the riders who made it through.

Hear from the organizers on how the Dark Divide came together, then listen as this year’s winners trade stories of the climbs, the darkness, the wrong turns, and the moments that almost broke them. Expect candid panel talk, rider Q&A, and plenty of mud-flecked memories.

But the real story is what’s next. In 2027, the Dark Divide turns six, and it’s bringing something bigger: the Dark Divide 666, a yo-yo route from Oly to PDX and back to Oly. Double the distance, double the dare. We’ll share first details of the course, the format, and how to get in.

Whether you rode, volunteered, or just followed the dots from your couch, come raise a glass to year five and get a first look at what lies ahead.

Co-hosted with Dark Divide organizer, Ben Everett of Evergreen Gravel Racing. Beverages and snacks available in the cafe. Stay for ltd RatKing RIP rack & Cradle giveaway
