Rolling Thunder Cyclocross Weekend at Missoula Mavericks Baseball Stadium

Back to one of the original Rolling Thunder Venues! Mavericks Stadium within Big Sky Park, the location of Rolling Thunder from 2009 to 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 seven weeks + 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 seven of the overall standings of the Missoula Cyclocross Series.  To learn more about the series click here.
