50th Anniversary Elk Basin Cross Country
BMC’s World Famous 50 years of Elk Basin Cross Country racing returns once again, and is part of the 406XC series. Rider athletes know to expect a challenging course consisting of miles of single track, rocks, sagebrush, hill climbs, descents, ascents, side hills, sand sections, rocky runs, root ways, timber limb dodging, a few natural jumps and everything in between that requires top-notch endurance for both the rider and the bike. Elk Basin outside of Belfry Montana is considered high desert Badlands terrain and is no walk in the park by any means.
Fans and riders typically make it a whole weekend and camp, with a Pre-Ride Fun Run on the main course after Saturday’s races, yarn-telling around the evening campfires and the main Events starting each morning. The schedule is below and times are tentative.
This year we are boasting a 50 mile loop – A classes will attempt 2 laps while B will attempt 1 lap!
