Buckley’s 24 — Hall of Fame

Remote, rugged and unapologetically tough, Buckley’s 24 strips racing back to its basics — self-reliance, smart decisions, and the willingness to push deep when there’s no easy way out.

The Buckley’s Hall of Fame celebrates the teams who have returned to face the course across multiple years. Results are compiled from official data and tracking records and will continue to build as the event grows. If you notice an error, or would like to update your team name, roster or bio, let us know and we’ll make it right.

Teams appear in this Hall of Fame once they have entered three or more editions of this event.
