2024 Donation Recipient:
Marfa Education Foundation

We're excited to announce that @marfaeducationfoundation will be this year’s Marfa100 donation recipient!

Marfa Education Foundation (MEF) is a non-profit that plays a critical role in the educational experience for students of Marfa ISD. Through grant funding, MEF supports innovative programming that would not otherwise be available to Marfa’s tiny school district, including a mix of academic, literacy, arts and technology programs. Students thrive in these programs and it is hard to summarize the breadth of what MEF offers. Some examples - students have gone on to state competitions in science and robotics, they have received scholarships to help with college, and they annually write and act in plays performed for the local Marfa community - all thanks to the support of MEF. (More info can be found here www.marfaeducationfoundation.org) 

Our donation page will remain open until October 19 with all donations going directly to MEF. Click the button below to donate:

The Area

Located in the Chihuahuan desert, Marfa is a small town within a large and unique landscape. The ride takes you out and back on a beautiful, low-traffic road which cuts through rolling ranch land, offering views of the Chinati Mountains in the distance and cactus, wildflowers and high-plains grassland in the foreground. The town of Marfa is unique, bringing together local ranchers with a high-profile art scene that attracts international tourists. From art, to landscape, to delicious food, there is something for everyone to enjoy in Marfa.

October, is a pleasant autumn month in Marfa, with average temperature varying between 53°F and 73°F.

The nights can get very cold here so plan accordingly!

The Race

Riders will race to complete a 100km (~62miles) out-and-back on beautiful Ranch Road 2810. With around 3000’ feet of elevation gain this race is as challenging as it is beautiful. The race is electronically timed and aid stations are every 10 miles.

The 50k fun-ride is back this year for those who want to enjoy the scenery without completing the full distance. We will again be allowing e-bikes on the 50k fun-ride.
