On July 25, 2026, the inaugural Lewis & Clark Gravel Classic invites you to pedal the same wild Missouri River corridors that challenged the Corps of Discovery more than two centuries ago. Starting and finishing in the friendly riverside town of Cascade, Montana, this is more than a race — it’s a full-on celebration of Montana’s unmatched gravel, history, and wide-open beauty under the Big Sky. Choose your own adventure with three epic distances, all tracing historic trails along the dramatic Missouri River canyon.
But the Gravel Classic is just the beginning. Cascade sits on the banks of the legendary Missouri River — widely regarded as one of the world’s premier wild-trout fisheries. Bring your fly rod: blue-ribbon water for rainbow and brown trout is literally steps from the start/finish line, with easy access to the famous “Land of the Giants,” Holter Lake, and the Gates of the Mountains wilderness waterway.
You’re also perfectly positioned for Montana’s grandest adventures. Glacier National Park lies just 2.5–3 hours north, Yellowstone National Park about 3.5–4 hours south — making the Gravel Classic weekend an ideal launchpad (or finale) to a bigger Montana road trip. Hiking, boating, wildlife watching, hot springs, ghost towns, craft breweries, and western history are all within easy reach.
Come for the gravel. Stay for the river. Leave with stories that start with “Remember that time on the Missouri…”. We can’t wait to see you in Cascade.
We will have life music with Miller Campbell. One part gritty heartland rocker and one part coastal cool, Miller Campbell is a Montana-grown singer-songwriter delivering intimate confessionals disguised as anthems. Cousin to the legendary Glen Campbell, she's been hailed as one of rock's "Rising Stars" by SPIN Magazine.
"A heavier, nervier sound that channels some of her non-country heroes: the no-bullshit defiance of Chrissie Hynde, the gleeful abandon of the Go-Go's." – SPIN
Fresh off European tours and her spot at Montana's Under the Big Sky Festival, Miller's debut LP blends Bakersfield sway, new wave swagger, and coastal cowgirl grit. Expect timeless rock wrapped in Big Sky energy!
Food Trucks and adult beverages will be available to complete your gravel experience.
