Hosted on private ground in the rugged Missouri River Breaks, Burnt Timber XC offers racers an unforgettable riding experience amidst pine forests, tight turns, sweeping views, steep climbs, and our signature “gumbo” mud. The sheer scale of our venue makes this a race that will leave a lasting impression, with lap distances stretching out beyond 20 miles.
From Lewistown, head north to Hilger on 191. Once at Hilger, turn left toward Winifred on MT236. 19.2 miles from Hilger, turn right (east) onto Butcher Rd, and follow signage for Burnt Timber XC.
A long time ago in a land, well, right here, a small group of riding buddies known as The Peck Hill Rough Riders were looking to introduce the motocross community to their little patch of heaven. Out of that desire for better riding opportunities for riders across the state, Burnt Timber XC was born.
The race began in 2002 with 40 riders. Over the next 15 years, it would grow to two days of family fun and over 280 riders. In 2011, cousins Katie and McKensie Butcher took on the race organization with help from members of The Peck Hill Rough Riders. In 2017 the Butcher family chose to step away, but always hoped the opportunity might arise to bring Burnt Timber XC back.
In the fall of 2022, Katie and McKensie began the process of bringing back the Burnt Timber XC. The event is now in it’s 18th year of racing and part of the 406XC series; a race series is hosted by families and friends who love racing and are working to provide awesome places to ride.
