The toughest mountain bike race in Atlantic Canada!
Elgin is located 10 km North of Fundy National Park in the heart of the Southern Highlands of New Brunswick. The views along this course are stunning and the leaves are going to be peaking in fall colour!
This race is being put on as a fundraiser by the Elgin Eco Association. The Elgin Eco Association is a group of dedicated volunteers who are working together to promote the natural beauty of the Elgin area through eco-tourism and by organizing local events. Mountain bike racers from all over the Maritime Provinces will be converging in Elgin to race through the beautiful Elgin countryside. This event is exciting, lots of fun and a celebration of both athletic ability and the beauty of this forest landscape!
The Tour of Elgin is a whole day of bike activities. There will be a 120-km marathon race for the fittest of riders - in fact, we dare you to try the 120 km event, which is the toughest mountain bike race in Atlantic Canada! We also have 80-km, 40-km and 20-km distance options, which will challenge all levels of mountain bike skills.
The Elgin 120k course will have 3 loops. You will only see some of the course twice. The last killer climb will be left for the end again this year. Sounds like the course will be 38k loop, 42k loop and a 35k loop. Organizers said to expect lots of climbing. :) There will be water stops at approx 25K, 60K and 100K.
The course will cover all different types of surfaces, with limited pavement, lots of fast double track (40%), dirt roads (50%) and some great single track (10%). The climbs are awesome (some as high as 1100 ft) and frequent. The course will be well marked. There will be all-terrain support vehicles, first aid on site and neutral feed stations.
There will also be family bike related activities going on throughout the day. The community will be putting on a supper with local specialties for all of the racers, family and friends.
There is a $5 deposit required for race plates. When you return it you receive your $5 back . This is not included in the Race Roster Registration Fee.

"25 Finishers will get the Belt Buckle. Mathematically it will go like this: if over 25 folks show up to race, lets say 30 participants race the 120K event, and 5 of them are female, then 5 females / 30 participants x 25 buckles = 4 buckles. Therefore 5 females are competing for 4 buckles. That means that 25 guys will be competing for 21 buckles.
