Colorado Motomarathon 2025
2025-06-22 00:00 - 2025-06-27 23:59 | Vermont
2025 Colorado Motomarathon Registration

Greetings fellow riders,

I hope this email finds you well. With a lot of help from people working behind the scenes, the events we held in Pennsylvania and Vermont this past year were a huge success. The High Life Ski Lodge in Vermont was a great host lodge thanks to the members who were there to support us. The “House Mom”, Chris Cooney, cooked, made coffee, cleaned, and was a huge help throughout the week.

For 2025, we will be hosting one event. The Colorado Motomarathon. Check-in is on Sunday, June 22 and ride dates are June 23-26.

The cost for registration is $100 per rider. This helps us cover AMA sanctioning fees, shirts, website costs, and insurance. With that said, our insurance premium nearly doubled last year to almost $1,600 per event. We have been using an insurance company associated with the AMA, as they are familiar with these types of events, and it’s been impossible to find another company that will write a decent policy for us. After speaking with riders who participate in other events, we are finding out that not only are prices doubling, but some events aren’t able to obtain coverage anymore. As many of you know, increased insurance costs are not unique to the motorcycle world.

To help cover the increased costs, and keep the registration fee down, we are looking for sponsors for 2025. Your name and emblem will be listed on our shirts, we will promote you at the event, and on our website and Facebook page. Sponsorship is $495. This will also cover your registration fee if you participate. Any assistance you can offer to keep Motomarathon going will be greatly appreciated by everyone involved.

Please use this link to our website for more information and to Register for the 2025 Motomarathon Event.

Our host lodge will be the Twin Peaks Lodge in Ouray, Colorado. Please use this link to book your room. Our group discount is already applied when using this link. As with every event, you are not obligated to stay at the host lodge. Feel free to stay at a different hotel, a local Air BnB, or even a campground. We will be meeting for dinner each night at the Twin Peaks, and a breakfast buffet is included with your room.

On-site check-in and registration will be held on Sunday, June 22, between 5:00 PM & 7:00 PM. Riders safety meeting will be held at the beginning of dinner each night, at 7:00 PM.

A very special thanks to Brian and Shira from Backroads Magazine, for their continued support.

Also to John Terzo from JT’s Moto Co. John owns a motorcycle themed barbershop in Verona, NJ, and has started a local company called JT’s Moto Co. He is creating motorcycle accessories for riders.

Please reach out to me with any questions or concerns and please feel free to share this message in support of our shared mission.

Despite its incredible growth, Dream Ride remains true to its roots, continuing the tradition that started it all: the annual motorcycle ride. Now one of Connecticut’s largest police-escorted rides, this can’t-miss event takes place on Saturday of Dream Ride Weekend.

Thousands of motorcyclists from across the region come together to enjoy the camaraderie of the open road, riding through the scenic Farmington River Valley, all while raising critical funds for The Hometown Foundation, Inc. It’s the premiere motorcycle event of the year — blending passion, purpose, and community.

We can’t wait to see you there — ride often, ride safe, and be part of the Dream!
