Your Host
Guthrie Center welcomes RAGBRAI, the world’s oldest, largest, and longest recreational bike tour that rolls through Iowa every summer since 1973. As an overnight stop, we’re excited to welcome thousands of cyclists, showcase our community, and share the natural beauty of the rolling hills. Nestled in Guthrie County, Guthrie Center and its 1,577 residents embody a history rich in community built upon the foundations of unity, trust, and cooperation. Come for the ride, stay for the views, and make memories that last. We are proud to host RAGBRAI for the 3rd time! 1974, 1983 & 2026.
Our Mission
Guthrie Center will provide every rider with exceptional hospitality in a safe and fun environment that showcases our big hills and strong small-town pride.
Volunteers Needed
Overnight towns are the heart of RAGBRAI, and they only shine because neighbors step up to volunteer. Whether you’re helping direct riders safely through town, welcoming visitors at information booths, setting up campgrounds, serving food, or pitching in with cleanup, every role makes a real difference. Volunteering is a fun, flexible way to show off your community pride, meet people from all over the country, and be part of an unforgettable Iowa tradition. Even a few hours of your time helps create the warm, welcoming experience riders remember long after they roll out of town.
