About
Conquer Montana's gravel trails in a race built for all ages and abilities!
The Garden City Gravel, taking place on May 17, 2025, in Huson, Montana, invites cyclists to challenge themselves on diverse gravel routes in the breathtaking 9 Mile Valley. Designed for inclusivity, it features a main 55-mile event, a 25-mile juniors ride for ages 9–16 (with chaperones and support), and a dedicated paracyclist category. As part of the Montana Off Road Cup series, the event boasts a vibrant race community and offers unique amenities like free camping, lunch, and beer—all set against a stunning Big Sky backdrop. Separate start times, fully supported courses, aid stations, and podiums based on ride time, not group finish, make this a must-do event for competitive cyclists and adventure-seekers alike.
