RACE OVERVIEW
We are so stoked to say that Thursday Night Race League is still happening! Whitefish Mountain Resort is still the place to race mountain bike on Thursday nights!
That being said we do have some new pandemic precaution’s in place now- The State of Montana has extended group gatherings to 50 people, so we are limiting each race to 40 racers. Therefore we are also asking that you please limit bringing friends and family members to the race with you in an effort to not go over the maximum number of people allowed by the Flathead County Health Dept.
Online registration opens each week on Monday at 8am and closes at 5:00pm on race day. With only 40 weekly entries available, this will help ensure those who register actually have the time to race that week.
There will be no food this year, but our sponsors are coming on with great raffles and prizes.
