In 2027, BC Bike Race evolves. Five days, two formats, and a route built around the best mountain biking British Columbia has to offer while keeping everything that makes BC Bike Race your best week on a bike.
Iconic BC MTB destinations
We’ll return to some of our most beloved communities while adding new terrain to the mix. Expect unforgettable trails and the kind of variety only BC can deliver.
Ferry Across the Salish Sea
The second half of the race takes us to Vancouver Island. The ferry ride* offers gorgeous vistas and the chance to see seals, porpoises, whales and more.
The Spirit of BCBR
The community vibe we’re known for will continue with trailside musicians, bacon stations, cheer zones and camaraderie that draw our alumni back year after year.
“Seven days built this race, and five days sharpens it. We’re keeping everything that matters: the riding, the community, the experience, and we’re bringing it back to where it all started.”
-Dean Payne, BC Bike Race President
