1518 Tower Street, Missoula, MT 59804, RACE HQ in the lower Fastpitch lot on the corner of Tower and Spurgin
Back to one of the original Rolling Thunder Venues. Maverick's Stadium within Big Sky Park. The host of Rolling Thunder from 2009 - 2018. It's characterized by a twisty, technical course. Missoula is hosting the Pan American Cyclocross Championships on November 4th and 5th. Rolling Thunder's courses will be very similar to the Pan Am Courses at Big Sky Park.
Rolling Thunder and Pan Am Champs are part of our larger cyclocross community. The Missoula Cyclocross Series is 7 weeks and a clinic. It also has a corresponding youth program called "Zootown Rangers." New for this year, we will be providing front row Rolling Thunder call ups to riders who are in the top 7 of the overall standings of the Missoula Cyclocross Series.

Saturday
Sunday
New for this year. The Sunset Race will include the Single Speed, MTB Baggies, and Party (C) categories. Race and get cheered by your favorite non cycling friend!
Rolling Thunder is unsanctioned, but insured. No USAC license is needed. All results will be submitted to CrossResults and some call ups at Pan Am Champs will be based on CrossResults. We will still have a competitive field and you won't regret racing Rolling Thunder.
Top three in each race category will be on podium. Podiums will be recognized immediately after each race. The Open Men and Open Women Race will be scored with all categories combined for a top 5 podium. Prizes and medals provided by Zillastate.
Register by Wed before Thunder to ensure you are considered for a callup. At least 8 in each category will get a call up for the front line. We may call past 8 if time allows from rider rankings/criteria below. Once we are done calling, then everyone else can line up first come, first serve.
Sunday will be based on Sat Results.
Parking is in the south field at Big Sky Park. You can also part at the West Side Little League paved parking area. The best entrance is off Tower Road on the Fort Missoula/Big Sky High School side. It's just a field and you will see the vehicles lined up.
Team tents will have a row near the front of the parking area or in the Fastpitch lower lot. Either way, it's first come first serve or shoot us an email to reserve.
While a race is occurring, please no pre-riding the course. There are dedicated slots on the schedule for pre-riding. After each race, there should be 10 minutes where you can do some pre-riding. We have a new start and finish line, it's inside the grass outfield of the lower fastpitch stadium.
Please also hit up Keyvin Pollington's City Center Motel Keyvin is a strong supporter of Missoula Cycling. City Center Motel is located downtown Missoula.
