A New Record Purse For The 2025 Loudon Classic

$60,000 Goes To The Winner!

The purse for the Loudon Classic, Americas oldest motorcycle road race, will break yet another record in 2025. The landmark 100th Classic set a high water mark for American road racing in 2023 with a record $250,000 purse, followed up with an even more impressive $300,000 up for grabs in 2024. The 102nd Loudon Classic will now spread an incredible $400,000 purse among four classes during the June 13-15 event this year.

John Grush, Executive Director of NEMRR noted “We want to offer an opportunity to build our sport by offering a truly unique opportunity for both top professional and local racers. The record-breaking purse draws signficant attention from the media both in and out of our industry, and the money for riders and teams can help fund their overall racing efforts for the whole season. We’re incredibly proud to be able to offer such an opportunity for positive exposure for our riders and the sport as a whole.”

The four spotlight races are scheduled as Saturday features for the three-day event. The Classic Main event will pay out $285,000 and will feature the NEMRR premier Middleweight GP class and add in Moto America Supersport Gen 2 machines. The top 32 qualifiers will make the field and the 2025 Classic winner will take home a record-breaking $60,000!

New for 2025 is the Streetfighter class, which will showcase naked twin and three-cylinder motorcycles and boast an impressive $100,000 total purse.
