LAFRAMBOISE ISLAND BIKE RACE
Saturday, May 31, 2025
A longtime local favorite, the LaFramboise Island Bike Race is held annually in the spring at the LaFramboise Island Nature Area in the middle of the Missouri River.
​
All ages and abilities are welcome! The course is ​suitable for nearly any bike. It's a fast flat course with a fun mix of trail types. There are tight technical turns on singletrack in the woods, sweet open sections of doubletrack, mowed grass paths, gravel recreation trail, and a few sassy sandy spots.
​
Each lap in the course is approximately 5.75 miles, with the number of laps depending on race division. Cash prizes are paid to the top 3 men and women in the Expert and Advanced divisions.
​
Kids race for FREE!
