Big Sky Spectaculaire 2025

You are invited to participate in The Big Sky Spectaculaire, an adventure cycling event. Montana is known as the Treasure State but make no mistake it is called Big Sky Country for a reason. Throughout this event, you will be rewarded with amazing and majestic views from sunrise to sunset. You will also have the opportunity to view a star-filled night sky.

The Big Sky Spectaculaire starts and finishes in Bozeman, located in southwest Montana. It is a single stage, self-supported competitive adventure bicycle ride around Southwest and Central Montana. The 2025 route is 910+/- miles in length on mixed surfaces with approximately 475 miles being gravel and 2-track. Parts of the route are the Adventure Cycling Association (ACA) TransAm and Lewis and Clark Bike Routes, the Tour Divide as well as the Bitterroot Connector developed by Bikepacking Roots. The route crosses the Continental Divide twice, at Mill Creek Divide (elev. 6749) and Rogers Pass (elev. 5610). Between these passes and throughout the entire route are numerous scenic valleys and divides providing 360 degree vistas. The route also ventures into Montana’s agricultural (wheat and barley) heartland, the Golden Triangle, where you will experience the big sky from horizon to horizon.
