2018 Trans BC Enduro Registration Opens October 13

Mark your calendar for October 13 – the sold-out phenomena of BC Singletrack Society events is about to strike again for the Trans BC Enduro, July 9-14, 2018. Registration opens next Friday at 9 a.m. PST at www.transbcenduro.com




If you own every KOM/QOM on your local trails, find yourself daydreaming about loam and steep chutes, and run a minimum 1000g tire front and rear, then you’ll find yourself in good company for six days of premier enduro racing in British Columbia.



The all-inclusive event is the only enduro stage race in the world that includes full hotel accommodations instead of camping. At CAN $2380 (USD $1900) plus TAX, this remains the cheapest enduro stage race but sparing no expense at all.


What’s included? Seven nights of accommodations, three meals per day, airport transfers, daily shuttles/transport, event jersey, and most importantly, unlimited beer!


The Trans BC Enduro is run by BC Singletrack Society, a non-profit organization, that diverts revenue directly into trail building and maintenance. Over the past four years, founder and race director Megan Rose has donated over $60,000 to the local trails and mountain bike clubs in conjunction with her events. Every person who registers for the Trans BC becomes a member of the society and in turn is a trail steward for the trails they race on.


“Moving forward BC Singletrack Society is looking to double their donations to the local mountain bike clubs from what we have over the past few years,” Rose said. “We understand the importance of supporting those that build and maintain the trails in each local community. This will bring our total to over $16,000+ in funds that the society will be giving back to the trail maintenance and trail projects in the communities we use for 2018.”



The event is heading back to its roots in Nelson and Rossland, B.C. where Rose has been scouring Interior B.C. for years to weave together a cocktail of full throttle trails. She continually refines her collection of classic descents, secret gems, and new additions. The most recent scout trip this fall unveiled trails to revamp or reopen in a useable condition for the race and the local community.




“Megan is notorious for always having something up her sleeve for the racers,” said Nate Corrigan, the “multi-tool” for the Trans BC Enduro. “Don’t be surprised if a heli is involved in getting to the top of a peak next year.”


With only one move on the schedule (as opposed to three), there will be more time to socialize, drink beer, and get your bike ready for the next day. Bike mechanics, massage therapists, and physios will also be on-site to provide additional services to make all racers feel like pampered pros.




The Yeti Trans NZ presented by Shimano slotted for February 25 – March 1 sold out in a matter of hours. “New Zealand is becoming a part of every mountain biker’s bucket list,” Rose said. “The kiwi vibe and relaxed chilled atmosphere of ‘she’ll be al’right mate’ attitude is all a part of the experience.”

Like the Trans BC Enduro, the Yeti Tranz NZ donates over $6000 to local mountain bike clubs and land management.

A special thanks to Kazoom, Tourism Rossland, Nelson Kootenay Lake Tourism, and Trail Airport. For more information email megan@ridingbc.com or visit www.transbcenduro.com.
