🐎 Virginia City 100 – Virtual Challenge
Host by WARHORSE Endurance™  for Nevada All-State Trail Riders, Inc
In the quiet hours before dawn, horses gather in the historic streets of Virginia City—where silver once called to miners, and where, for over half a century, riders have answered a different kind of call.
This September, WARHORSE Endurance™ is honored to partner with the Nevada All-State Trail Riders to offer a virtual version of the legendary Virginia City 100, now celebrating its 56th anniversary.
The Virginia City 100 is one of the oldest and most respected 100-mile endurance rides in the United States. First held in 1968, it begins on the streets of this Old West mining town steeped in history and winds through sagebrush, rocky canyons, and sweeping Nevada high desert—testing the partnership between horse and rider, mile by meaningful mile.
🎧 Check in with the latest episode of Endurance Horse Podcast to hear more about the Virginia City 100, being held on September 20th, 2025, in Virginia City. And now, riders from across the globe can join in spirit—logging miles at home, riding through their own landscapes, while honoring the legacy of one of the West’s most iconic endurance rides.
 
🌌 Join the Tradition. Capture the Silver.
Whether you ride a little each day, all the miles add up. Enjoy your journey and honor the will, the grit, the heart, and the hope of those riding under the stars in Nevada.
While our awards differ from the official 100-mile-in-a-day event, we promise that in true WARHORSE Endurance™ style, you'll receive an awesome award packet—featuring a unique buckle, patch, sticker, and metal sign honoring the Virginia City 100 and the incredible work of the Nevada All-State Trail Riders.
Be a part of endurance history. Help us promote and preserve this marvelous ride and the organization behind it.
