Thanks to everyone who participated in the 2026 Guess The Route Contest!
Over 350 entries were received in the 23rd (mostly) annual RAGBRAI Guess the Route Contest to pick the RAGBRAI LIII towns. We were slightly more predictable than usual this year, as SEVEN of you guessed all eight overnight towns. This is no small feat, as there are some “rare” towns this year. For example, we haven’t been to Guthrie Center as an overnight since 1983.
Want to see how your guesses stacked up? See below for our most frequently guessed town analysis. Of the seven people who correctly guessed the route, we randomly selected each podium standing.
Here are this year’s winners:
