There will be two separate series this fall for Montana cross racers, the MBRA Cross Series and the Missoula Wednesday Night Cross Series. All races are USCF sanctioned. One-day licenses will be available at each race.

 

The MBRA Cross Series will feature ten races on weekend dates around Western Montana beginning on October 4. Bianchi has once again generously donated a bicycle to be given away at the end of the season in a drawing. All racers and race volunteers will get a free ticket each time they race or volunteer, and tickets can also be purchased for $5. The drawing for the bike will take place after MBRA #10 in Missoula on November 23. Please check montanacycling.org for information about each individual race.

 

The State Championship race this year will be MBRA #8 on November 9 in the Flathead.

 

The Missoula Wednesday Series will feature racing at Ft. Missoula beginning on September 24 and continuing each Wednesday until October 22; a total of five weeks of racing. Entry fee is $5 per race or $20 for the series. Racing will begin at 6:00 pm each Wednesday near the Historical Museum at Ft. Missoula.

 

In addition to the individual race prizes, racers will compete for overall series prizes and awards in both the Missoula Wednesday Series and the MBRA Series.
