Silver State Classic Challenge returns to Highway 318

The Silver State Classic Challenge returns to Nevada Highway 318 for a September 17-20 event weekend. The main 90-mile, one-way Highway 318 competition is scheduled to start promptly at 8 a.m. Pacific on Sunday, September 20.

The organizer's schedule calls for pre-grid in Lund at 6:30 a.m. and grid at 7 a.m. The event is intended for registered participants and volunteers; Travel Nevada says there are no designated spectator areas along the course.

Registration requirements depend on experience and division. The organizer's current entry form lists main-event fees from $660 to $1,060 before optional or late charges, and says the rookie-entry deadline is September 1. Participants must use the current entry forms and rulebook rather than relying on this summary.

The 2026 rulebook says people younger than 18 are not allowed anywhere on the course, including the start and finish areas. Public sources checked for this article did not publish exact highway-closure start and end times. Travelers should check current organizer and transportation notices before using Highway 318 on race day.
