MadTown Bike Jam

06/17/2026

The inaugural MadTown Bike Jam welcomed 120 riders from 12 states to Madison over Memorial Day Weekend, creating an estimated $100,000 economic impact for our community.

From scenic gravel roads and live music to community activities and unforgettable experiences, the event showcased the best of Madison and the surrounding countryside while bringing visitors from across the country to Lake County.

A huge thank you goes out to our Presenting Sponsor, Madison Regional Health System, as well as all of our sponsors, volunteers, community partners, food vendors, musicians, public safety personnel, local businesses, and residents who helped make this event a success. Events like this simply aren't possible without your support.

We're already looking ahead to Memorial Day Weekend 2027 and can't wait to build on the momentum from year one!

🇺🇸 Happy 605 Day from Madtown Bike Jam! 🚴‍♀️💙

South Dakota is more than a place on a map — it's the gravel roads that stretch for miles, the small towns that welcome you like family, and the people who make every ride memorable.

This year, Madtown Bike Jam brought together riders experiencing South Dakota for the very first time and riders who have called the 605 home their entire lives. No matter where they came from, they all discovered the same thing: there’s something special about exploring the backroads, open skies, and communities that make our state unique.

Thank you to everyone who traveled near and far to ride with us, support our event, and experience Madison. Here's to the roads less traveled, new friendships, and the pride of calling the 605 home.
