Let’s start with a few events that are happening when Sturgis starts in just 20 Long Days. Lots of things go on from Rides to Contests to giveaways.
15th Annual Sturgis Mayor’s Ride
The ride was started in 2003 by former Mayor Mark Ziegler and has been carried on by the late Mayor Maury Larue and currently by Mayor Mark Carstensen. It was started with a route stopping at Mt. Rushmore for a group picture but has also enjoyed the beauty of Crazy Horse Monument and the Center of the Nation Visitor Center in Belle Fourche.
Join Mayor Carstensen along with the Rally’s Grand Marshall, Jessi Combs, on this celebratory ride through the beautiful Black Hills. We will have a stop at Mr. Rushmore, just like the first ride, for our traditional group picture, and end in Custer State Park for a luncheon hosted by the Mayor. Participants will receive a souvenir pack including a limited edition Jack Daniels decanter signed by the Mayor, a 15th annual T-shirt, Challenge Coin and other collectibles provided by our sponsors.
