The Great American Championship Motorcycle Hill Climb is an institution in motorcycle history. Celebrating its 94th anniversary, the Great American offers some of the most premier, technical hill climb action anywhere. Nationally known racers like Jeremy McGrath, Pete Krunich, past champions Shannon Chamberlain and Davey Johnson, and national hill climb star Petey Krunich have attempted to conquer the hill. Some have succeeded, others have taken breath-taking tumbles down the 420-foot shale hill that is near vertical in several spots.
For a piece of the $50,000 purse, the risks for the over 400 pro entries are worth it.
Every year the almost 10,000 people attending the three day extravaganza are treated to a fantastic extreme motor sport show on two separate hills, the pro-money hill and the equally technical trophy hill. Just as exciting is the show put on by the catchers, the men who tackle the bikes and riders when they take a tumble. Watching these guys hang from ropes while restraining a 300+ pound motorcycle, sometimes in mid-air, is a show unto itself.
In addition to the great rides and falls, the great welcome that the City of Billings puts on for the fans makes this hill climb a fantastic event. Special shuttle service is offered to bring people from town out to the hill with curbside service. Spacious, air-conditioned tents and food and beverage services are provided for shuttle passengers. For ONLY $25 PER PERSON

While 10,000 people are typically in attendance throughout the three-day event, parking and space is unlimited. Vendors are on site with great food and cold drinks to make you comfortable. Plus, the Billings Motorcycle Club has built a huge roof cover for shade if you simply need to stay cooler. Best of all, it’s angled towards the hill so you won’t miss the action. Visitors are invited to tailgate at their vehicles, mingle with locals on the ‘beach’ or spread out in the spectator areas and generally have a great time.
Onsite camping spots are available for an additional charge. Please reserve early as there are only a limited number available. While coolers are allowed, they will be inspected, as alcohol cannot be brought onto the premises. Beer will be available on site for prices comparable to those in town.
Meet us at the hill this year for a Great American pastime!
