Course Details

Start and Finish at the Mission Valley Aquatic Center on Ridgewater Drive Polson, MT. It's a large clockwise loop. Start on Ridgewater, turn right onto bike path heading south. Follow bike path until you make a right turn onto Reservoir Rd. This road was just repaved with lines and a bike lane. It's almost too smooth. Continue on Reservoir until it meets Back Road. Turn Right heading North on Back Rd. Back Road becomes Kerr Damn and you will have a 1-mile plus gentle downhill into town. Continue on road as it curves right and becomes 7th Avenue. There is no other option really other than going straight into the river, don't do that. Continue straight east on 7th Ave through town. There will be no road closures and cars will not be stopping for you, keep your head up and obey traffic rules. Just before the road starts climbing a hill turn left onto the bike path. Follow the bike path all the way back to Ridgewater. Take a Right on Ridgewater and return to MVAC.

Parking Information

NO Parking in the Mission Valley Aquatic Center. All parking for the race will be at the soccer fields behind the pool. Drive past the pool on Ridgewater, turn right and go into the large gravel lot behind the pool.
