All distances start and finish at the Mill Pond Parking Lot - 10969 Dewdney Trunk Road.

A portion of all registrations will go toward Mission Search and Rescue and their continued efforts to keep our trails and mountains a safe place to adventure!

There is a $5 fee from each short course rider and a $10 fee from each long course rider which will be added to your cost at checkout. The fee is required by FVMBA, and goes directly to the Fraser Valley Mountain Bikers Association to help aid in the costs and resources to prepare the trails for the event as well as to repair any damage caused by the event.

  • Take on the big climb with some bumps and shorter steep pitches to keep you honest and earn the reward shortly after of tons of fast, flowy downhill! You'll hit a good section of berms, bumps, and turns, but it's nothing you can't handle. Hit the jumps on the side if you're feeling brave, or play it safe and stick to the middle of the trail. Either way, you're guaranteed a damn good time on this mountain.
