The 19th iteration of Red Bull Rampage in 24 years is set to return with a climactic, 2-day competition this October. After the introduction of a women’s division in 2024, the anticipation for this year’s event is high. The 2025 Red Bull Rampage women’s division will take place on Thursday, Oct. 16, and the men’s will kick off on Saturday, Oct. 18.
For nearly a quarter century, the red-hued hills of Utah have been the ultimate stage for a competition featuring the world’s best mountain bikers. Red Bull Rampage returns again this week, and it’s likely to offer more thrills than ever.
Much like the increasingly dangerous stunts of its top cyclists, the competition has continued to evolve in recent years. In 2024, the Rampage event included a women’s competition for the first time. It was an outgrowth of Red Bull Formation, a women-only MTB competition spearheaded by freerider Katie Holden.
This year, bike-seat spectators can once again check out both men and women racing down some of the most terrifying lines ever constructed. If you haven’t checked it out before, these world-class cyclists tackle stomach-turning ramps and soar over absurd distances. (It’s like the “flying bicycles” scene in Spielberg’s E.T., but even cooler.)
Here’s our guide on how to watch Red Bull Rampage, 2025 edition.
How Does Red Bull Rampage Work?
Red Bull Rampage is a unique mountain biking event. Riders and their crews spend days handcrafting unique lines filled with drops, gaps, and enormous, sketchy descents that drop around 1,000 feet over the entire course.
After several days of work, riders have 4 days to practice and refine their lines before the final event.
Riders get two runs during the event finals to send the cleanest and most exciting run possible. Judges score riders on a scale of 1 to 100 based on the difficulty of line choice, tricks and style, fluidity and control, and air time. It’s not just about successfully making it to the bottom. Riders have to provide ample amounts of style and big sends as they do so.

Red Bull Rampage 2025 Venue
The course should look pretty familiar to the riders who have competed in Rampage in the past. This year’s venue is the same one from 2023 and 2024, and has previously hosted the event from 2008 through 2013.
The mountain is a short distance from Zion National Park and covers roughly 1,000 feet of elevation from start to finish. It includes huge drops of roughly 70 feet, exposed ridgelines, and a smattering of ramps for riders to traverse.
Starting in 2022, though, the course looked different from the course of 2008 to 2013. Rampage rules changed in 2015 to allow only sandbags in trail construction, without any wood features common to free-ride and downhill courses. That’s part of what makes Rampage unique and even more challenging.
