Participants will race for four days through some of the most incredible backcountry trails in the Pacific Northwest accessed both by shuttles and pedalling. A mix of well-known favourites and little known gems will weave them down steep loamy tracks, over rocky sections, across alpine meadows, through shaded old-growth canopies, and along high mountain ridges. Maps and course details are released nightly during the event and there are no allowances for practice runs. The men and women’s pro fields equally share a prize purse of $16,000.



Ramping up the event ever further for this year, the team are investing in tents and transportation. "Providing tents for racers allows us to move camp more efficiently, which gives riders more time to relax and recover. Investing in transportation is key to the flow of our event; we can move racers efficiently with the right vehicles and the investment will be put to use for our trail work parties year-round,” says Nick. They have also implemented a zero waste goal for plates, cups, and utensils.



Trans-Cascadia was created to invest in the bike industry and support the local communities it operates in. This last year the Trans-Cascadia team worked alongside their sponsors, the Forest Service and local trail builders to open 14 miles of new trail in the Oakridge and MacKenzie River area – logging over 1500 hours of volunteer labor in the process. Through the event they have also raised and donated over $20,000 towards trail advocacy and invested $5000 to build a tool library dedicated to Trans-Cascadia’s local trail efforts.
