2024 Pintler Classic Road Race in Philipsburg – Montana State Road Championship

Road racing is not dead! Frontiers Racing is reviving the Pintler Classic Road Race out of Philipsburg, Montana. This will serve as the Montana State Road Championships. Due to the amazing generosity of our donors, we will have *at least* a $4500 prize pot with masters and juniors categories. Please, please, please help spread the word. If we can make this a big enough success, our goal is to revive a stage race in Western Montana for next year. This is our opportunity to truly grow road racing in Montana again.

If you are not interested in racing, we need as much help as we can get. Controlling traffic around the highway and into town in Philipsburg in July is going to be very difficult. Please sign up if you are interested in volunteering below:

July 13, 2024 marks the resurgence of road racing in Montana with an epic one-day race in the heart of Big Sky Country. Open to all comers with something for everyone, this USAC-sanctioned race will be a spectacular day on the bike with stunning views, battles for state championship medals (for Montana residents), and a finish in downtown Philipsburg.

The 2024 Pintler Classic revives the opening stage of the Ecology Center Classic — the pro stage race that attracted national-level talent in the early 2000s — with a legendary course that screams Montana. Starting in Philipsburg, racers will roll along the foothills of the Pintler Mountains, tackle a dirt sector on Rock Creek Road, and climb back up to sweeping views of the Anaconda Range before dropping back down into Philipsburg.

​Come for the views and unforgettable course, race for the glory (and prize money!), and stay for a proper post-race celebration in the beautiful mountain town of Philipsburg. Montana’s bike racing lore gets a new chapter on July 13, 2024 — don’t miss it!
