THE BASECAMP EXPERIENCE

Your registration fee includes the legendary curated British Columbia riding experience along with on-course support including aid stations, finish line food, medical support and more.

To truly make this a week that’s all about biking, we offer an easy button for when you’re off the bike: The Basecamp Experience. While you focus on soaking up all the amazing singletrack and enjoying the camaraderie of other riders, let us take care of your accommodations, meals, and transportation.

Wake up to the famous Screaming Chicken, watch the daily awards, win sweet prizes, enjoy local cultural activities, hang out in the Bear’s Den and make friends with riders from around the world.

Why would you want to stay anywhere else?

Basecamp options are available for purchase on Dec. 6 at 12pm Pacific.

BASECAMP CAMPING $485

If you opt to stay in one of our tents, you will have the use of a four-person tent during race week. Each tent is sold as a single unit. You have the option to share a tent with another racer if you both choose.

If you are sharing, please let us know who your tent mate is so that your tent tags get labeled correctly. Please note that tents may only be shared with other registered racers, and not with any personal support crew if they are not racing.

Your tent will be set up for you at each of our basecamps. Shower and washroom facilities will also be provided at basecamp. You will also have easy access to on-site pay-per-use services such as Wellness, Obsession (the bike tech team), and meal halls if you opt for the meal plan upgrade.

Please note we have a limited number of tents available. They will be sold on a first-come, first serve basis.
