On July 25, 2026, the Lewis & Clark Gravel Classic invites runners and cyclists to explore the rugged beauty of Montana’s Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest. Starting from the charming riverside town of Cascade, this event celebrates over two centuries of history along the Missouri River. The race offers three distinct distances, each offering a unique journey through historic trails. Participants will traverse the dramatic river canyon, immersing themselves in nature's grandeur under Montana’s expansive sky. The route weaves seamlessly between scenic vistas and challenging terrain, providing an unforgettable experience for every competitor. For those seeking more than just a race, Cascade offers much to explore beyond its start/finish line. Just steps away lies the legendary Missouri River, renowned as one of the world's premier trout fisheries. Fly fishing enthusiasts can enjoy blue-ribbon waters teeming with rainbow and brown trout, making it easy to spend your post-race moments by the river. Nature lovers will find themselves in prime position for further adventures. Glacier National Park is only a 2.5–3-hour drive north, while Yellowstone National Park is about 3.5–4 hours south. This proximity makes Cascade an ideal base for a broader exploration of Montana’s natural wonders and rich history. In addition to the outdoors, Cascade provides easy access to other attractions such as Holter Lake's "Land of the Giants" and the Gates of the Mountains wilderness waterway. The town itself is brimming with western charm, offering craft breweries, ghost towns, and a wealth of historical sites for those looking to delve deeper into Montana’s past. The Lewis & Clark Gravel Classic weekend transforms Cascade from just another destination on your map to a memorable stop in an adventure that extends far beyond the race. With trails that challenge and inspire, along with the promise of legendary trout fishing nearby, this event promises stories that will last long after you leave. Join us for what is sure to be more than just a race; it’s an invitation to experience Montana at its finest.
