Fancy dress is optional, totally encouraged, but very importantly it is unscientifically proved to make you faster around this classic course. This 50km event starts at the Elk Valley Nordic Centre running to the trails at Fernie Alpine Resort. Take it on as a relay or solo if you're feeling absolutely nuts.
This ski season-ending tradition continues at Fernie Alpine Resort. This quadrathlon event has racers mass starting from the top of the Griz Face skiing down to the resort base. A fast transition out of ski boots and the race continues into town via bike, into a kayak for a paddle down the Elk River back to the resort. Just as the lactic acid starts setting in, the final stage takes racers back uphill to the resort and over the finish line. Take on the PPP as a relay team of two to five members, or solo if you dare.
The Lone Wolf is a trail running challenge in Fernie, BC. A simple, fun, looped race. But there’s a catch. Racers start together on the hour as a pack, needing to finish the loop within the hour. As when the next hour strikes, the race starts again, in the opposite direction. The goal? To complete as many loops as you can. So, do you think you can outrun the pack and become The Lone Wolf?
Lucky 7s is a mountain bike race is held on a super fun intermediate cross-country mountain bike loop approximately 13km in length. Do as many laps as you can in up to 7 hours. Great for teams of up to 3 riders or for those competitive riders that want to challenge the course solo or with 2 riders.
Ride for fun, ride for the backcountry trails. We've got some of the greatest backcountry gravel trails in BC and this new event for 2020 will showcase that.
