What started as a weekend celebration with less than two dozen racers participating in a handful of events including half-mile races, ramp jumps, and board-wall crashes, the Rally has grown significantly
Rally-goers can still enjoy several of the original events, although many others have been added over the years such as motocross races, professional and amateur hill climbs, and drag races.
Visitors can also check out the countless food and souvenir vendors, booths and shops offering everything from motorcycle customizing to tattooing, and the concerts, not to mention simply touring around Sturgis taking in all of the sights and sounds.
In addition to the activities in and immediately around Sturgis, many individuals and groups take day-trips throughout the Black Hills, and beyond. Within easy riding distance are many attractions including Mount Rushmore (62 miles), Crazy Horse Memorial (67 miles), Custer State Park (75 miles), Spearfish Canyon (20 miles), Deadwood (13 miles) and the Badlands (110 miles). (Distances listed are approximate.)
Average Rally attendance is in the hundreds of thousands, with the largest estimated attendance of more than 600,000 cruising in for the 60th Anniversary in 2000. Attend the Rally once, and it becomes clear why this slightly out-of-the-way place has become a mandatory destination for so many motorcyclists.
This years rally is from August 6 to 12. But do not worry about getting there to early because people get there about to week before hand.
