Mission

Ride424™.com was conceived with one simple goal - to help grow the sport of off-road ultras by providing information to help newcomers and experienced racers alike get more fun out of these challenging and rewarding events. By providing a forum for the North American racing calendar we also aim to help race promoters coordinate with each other, fostering constructive competition among those who bravely step up to the plate to promote ultra-MTB events.

History

Karl Etzel founded Ride424™.com in 2004 to address the needs of serious (and not so serious) ultra-endurance MTB racers. Recognizing that the sport is young and unorganized, and that racing is often a significant expense in both time and money, he built the site into a consumer review page for athletes trying to make informed decisions about which races to pick. Karl has a background in engineering and was a marketing manager in the Silicon Valley tech industry prior to founding Ride424™.com and Momandpopcoffee.com.
