Crusher 2025
REGISTRATION OPENS DECEMBER 31ST AT 9:06 AM Days Hours Minutes Seconds Register CRUSHER-MS Date: 07.19.25 Copper Harbor, Michigan Mass Start events are about community and doing hard things together. The Crusher MS format is harder than your average gravel event. The experience will test you. You will learn about “Yooper Math” and “Checkpoints.” You’re not gonna find a better place on Earth to spend a weekend or a better group of people to spend it with. All MS events begin and end in Copper Harbor (loops), except for the P2P, which is a point-to-point. Join the Crusher Facebook group. It’s the best source for up to date Crusher information and help from the community. Go join it today. Signage: There is none. GPS is required. Routes: All new routes (cause we’re moving to the Keweenaw). Between now and next summer we’ll tease ya with photos and video from the course. The best place to go for that content is the public “The Crusher” Facebook page, or join the Facebook group. You will not see final routes until a couple of weeks before the event. Here’s a tip: Be ready for everything. If you do that… it won’t matter what the route is. MS stands for Mass Start. Learn the Crusher nomenclature. The Mass Start is July 19th-20th, 2025 at the Trail’s End Campground in Copper Harbor. You’ll get to crush it with 400-500 fellow Crushers. We camp together. We cry and laugh together. We CRUSH together. Self-supported/Neutral Support. You’re expected to be fully self-sufficient and carry all recommended gear. We’re telling you up front no one is coming to save you. Be prepared. If you’r not prepared stay home. Checkpoints. Are required. Reference the field manual for details. Field Manual. The Field Manual is your single source of truth for all things Crusher. It will contain everything you need to know about the event. The new Field Manual will not be available until early summer 2025, but for now you could download one of the digital copies of the manual on our website to get a feel for what the event is all about. Distances (in miles): 40, 100, 175, P2P, a 50-mile NFR (Not Fun Run). Refer to the manual for details. Date: 7.20.2024 Location: Trail’s End Campground, 14203 M-26, Copper Harbor, MI 49918 Camping: We have rented the entire Trail’s End Facility for the weekend of the event. You can camp with us at no cost. When registration opens, we’ll ask you to answer questions. Basically, you’re telling us if you plan to camp with us or not. From there, you’ll need to await further instruction after registration fills up. Camping is offered on a first come, first serve basis. Timing: Superior Timing. Wanna visit their website? Google it. Photographers: Ryan Stephens Photography, Rob Meendering Photography, and Fresh Coast Exposures. CRUSHER-P2P Date: July 15, 2025 Somewhere, UPPER PENINSULA The only thing standing between you and Copper Harbor is 500 miles. You’ll start days ahead of the rest of the event. The P2P format has always been the ultimate Crusher experience. This is the first time that we’re riding TO the harbor. For all intents and purposes, you should look at this ride as an EX event because the only time you’ll see anyone else is most likely at the finish. Hell, you might even finish before we get there. Join the Crusher Facebook group. It’s the best source for up to date Crusher information and help from the community. Go join it today. Signage: There is none. GPS is required. Satellite communication devices are recommended for this event. I.E. Garmin Inreach, etc. Route: This is a bikepack route/event. P2P means you start in one place and end in another. There will be logistics. You will need to figure them out. Expect to encounter everything you’d expect from a gravel event, and a lot of stuff you wouldn’t. This includes singletrack. P2P. Point-2-Point. Self-supported. We’re offering you a chance to declare at registration that you’ll complete this challenge unsupported. That means no one can help you from outside the event. If you accept help from anyone, you will be disqualified. We will not move you from unsupported to supported categories mid-event. All P2P riders are required to be fully self-supported. No one is out there to save you. You will be alone. There are inherent dangers in activities of this nature that can only be mitigated by preparation, experience, and grit. Neutral Support. If you register to complete this event “unsupported,” you cannot accept the support of any kind. For everyone else, you know the drill. If you offer help to one rider, you must be willing to help them all if you can. Checkpoints. Are required. Reference the field manual for details. Field Manual. The Field Manual is your single source of truth for all things Crusher. But we haven’t done this before, so it’s not in the Field Manual. Distance (in miles): 500 miles. Date: 7.15.2025 (Tentative) Could change. We’ll have a better idea once we finalize the route. Start Location: TBD End Location: Trail’s End Campground, 14203 M-26, Copper Harbor, MI 49918 Camping: You can camp at Trail’s End Campground at the finish*.

The ultimate adventure experience. No crowds. No dog and pony show. Just you and the challenge in front of ya. You can complete your ride anytime within the three-month window. You will be all alone. No one is out there to save you. The variety of routes that were offered last year was a hit (EX40). We expect to do the same this year. Join the Crusher Facebook group.
