Make sure you select the correct date and technique/level clinic when you sign up - some dates may have multiple clinics. Also please note that we offer clinics at the beginner and intermediate level. Beginner clinics are for individuals who have very little experience (less than a dozen times or so) with the specific ski technique (skating or classic skiing), or feel that they would like more instruction on the basics. Intermediate clinics are for those who are able to perform the specific technique (skating or classic skiing) continuously for 10km, and are looking to improve efficiency and form. Advanced clinics are aimed at improving skills for skiers who are already proficient and are interested in learning how to go faster for racing and/or enjoyment. To allow the best experience for yourself and the other clinic participants, please sign up for the level of clinic that is most appropriate for you.

In general weekend and holiday clinics will be held at Lubrecht State Experimental Forest and the weekday clinics will be held at the UM Golf Course. This is subject to change depending on snow conditions though.

Please note that in an effort to improve attendance at clinics and help ensure that more people who want to participate get to the opportunity, we are planning to collect a $10 deposit at time of registration. The deposit will be refunded to everyone who makes it to the clinic or who cancels at least 72 hours ahead of time. Thank you for your understanding!

ZANY: Zootown Area Nordic Youth

ZANY Update

ZANY is returning this winter, 2026. Starting on Tuesday, January 13th and going thru February 17th, the Zootown Area Nordic Youth program will host six weeks of classic or skate instructions for Kids ages 5-12. ZANY takes place at the Pattee Canyon recreation area on Tuesdays from 4-5:30 pm. Kids are split into groups according to age, ability and desired mode of skiing. You must be 8 or older to participate in skate skiing. All coaches are dedicated volunteers intent on creating a fun and playful experience, as well as an appreciation for one of their favorite winter activities- Nordic Skiing.

Sign up for ZANY will open on December 2nd, 2025 at 7:30 pm. This program fills up fast and coordinators will do their best to get kids off the waitlist and on to skis. Please do not sign your child up if they are planning to miss two or more weeks. We understand life happens and of course illness may keep some of us at home, but if you or your child are not committed consider making room for another eager skier.

Get the thrill of a triathlon—without the weather or open roads! Our Indoor Triathlon is a fast-paced, beginner-friendly event that combines swimming, cycling, and running in a controlled indoor environment. Participants will complete each discipline back-to-back, testing endurance, strength, and strategy in a supportive, high-energy setting.

The race begins with a timed swim in the pool, followed by a seamless transition to a stationary bike for a cycling segment measured by time or distance. Athletes then finish strong with an indoor run on a track. Distances are designed to be accessible while still challenging, making this event perfect for first-time triathletes, seasoned athletes looking for off-season competition, or anyone seeking a fun fitness challenge.

Whether you’re racing for a personal best or just for fun, the Indoor Triathlon offers a safe, motivating atmosphere with music, spectators, and staff support throughout the event.

BIKE- 45 Minute (Blue Mountain Cycle Studio)

RUN- 30 Minute (Indoor Track)

Join us this May for the second Annual Marshall Mountain Revival!

Marshall Mountain has long been a hub for outdoor adventure in Missoula, and the Marshall Mountain Revival is a way to honor its legacy and create a new springtime tradition. Missoula County has been hard at work building new trails at Marshall, and our looped courses do their best to showcase these offerings.

Looking for a team event? Grab your friends and sign up for the Revival 25k relay! With 2-3 person teams, each team must complete all three of our 5 mile loops, then finish with a mini "victory lap" around the half-mile Local Glory Trail.

Prefer to go alone? Challenge yourself with the Revival Solo 25k and complete all three of our loops for 15 miles and 3600 feet of climbing.

Want for something shorter? We offer the Moose 5 Mile - a single lap with 1200 feet of climbing and smooth singletrack down the Moose trail.

After the race, we'll have a robust post-race brunch, access to plenty of offerings in our vendor village from local businesses. We hope to see you in May!

We are excited to offer another year of this instant classic gravel event!

Garden City Gravel will take you through the same course as years past. Headquartered in the 9 Mile Valley, west of Missoula, this route shows you the best of our gravel riding. New for this year we have separate start times for different groups. Also, we are proud to offer a paracyclist category. All age group and category podiums run across the different start times and top 3 will be honored in each. For example if you are in the 50-59 category you can get in the top 3 regardless of your start group. The podiums are based on your ride time, not your relative finish within your ride group.

New for this year - Garden City Gravel 40

A beautiful 40 Mile gravel course for folks to train or try their hand at a gravel event. Two laps on the course!

The Homesteader 6 is back for racers, rangers, soul riders, weekened warriors, juniors, NICA riders and local heroes. Race solo, find a buddy, or assemble a team of three or four to see how far you can go in six hours of racing. Podiums for all different gender and team combinations. This race sports all of the support of the Missoula XC, with a bit more laid back vibe for local riders. Expect a robust base area, with the opportunity to setup a team area for yourself.

Snack Tent/Aid Station. Your own personal team area. What could be better???!!!

Sign up you and your team and then have your friends sign up and join your team.
