Imagine five days of racing on the best MTB trails in B.C., hitting Whistler, Squamish, Cumberland, Parksville and North Cowichan.
Take on 30–45 km each day, riding the roots, rock, berms and flow that make B.C. singletrack worth travelling for. Courses are shaped with experienced local course designers to showcase each community’s trails.
Savour every moment on the bike. Trade stories at the finish each day. Search for whales as you cross the Salish Sea on a ferry full of fellow racers. And show off your BCBR Belt Buckle when it’s all done.
Your best week on a bike starts here.
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.
“These are the best trails I’ve ever raced on.”
-Nino Schurter, 10X World XC Champion, 9X UCI World Cup Champion and 2026 BCBR Alumn
