2018 TransCR Registration Opens Today
Registration for the 2018 TransCR opens today at 9am PDT!
The TransCR is back for 2018. We are excited to move the TransCR to a brand new northern location. A new location means new trails and a truly blind racing experience for all participants. Remaining is the jungle adventure, chill camp vibes, and the authentic Costa Rican experience. The race takes place February 20–25, 2018, come ride an exotic location and experience Pura Vida!
Racers should expect varied terrain from steep loamy gnar to smooth jungle flow and the occasional high-speed back road. Stage lengths will vary from 4–15 minutes with three to four stages per day and a prologue on day one. Riders should be comfortable spending 3–6 hrs in the saddle with as much as 1,500m of climbing in one day. Transfers will be a mix of pedaling and shuttles to maximize daily descending. Costa Rica’s mountains are steep and unrelenting so solid technical riding skills are a must.

New this year, we are offering an extended play package. After the race, you'll have a chance to raft the famous Pacuare river and return to the site of the 2017 race. The following days will be spent shuttling and riding high jungle descents free of the pressure of the race clock. For more details, please check out our website.
