Cadillac Challenge Century 2024

The Cadillac Challenge Century returns for its 33rd year on October 6, 2024, on the scenic Mount Desert Island in the United States. This annual bike ride, renowned for its stunning views and challenging course, culminates in a 3.3-mile, 6% climb up Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park.

The Cadillac Challenge embodies the true spirit of cycling, focusing on the joy of the ride rather than the competitiveness of a race. There are no chip timings or official results—except for those recorded on Strava leaderboards—fostering a strong sense of community among participants.

Started by Anthony Mourkas and his family, the ride quickly grew from a grassroots event into a major annual gathering. In recent years, Dean Reed has taken over the organizational duties, ensuring the Cadillac Challenge remains a beloved event for all involved. Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or a passionate newcomer, this ride offers an unforgettable experience on one of the most beautiful routes in the country.
