Fernie Tears and Gears began with two friends—Abi, a trail runner, and Krista, a mountain biker—who wanted an event they could take on together. That idea sparked Fernie’s first Mountain Duathlon in 2010, which ran annually through 2019 and celebrated its 10th anniversary along the way.

After a six-year break, the event is back—this time supporting the Abi Moore Scholarship Fund and continuing its mission to get people out on Fernie’s incredible trails, have fun, cheer each other on, and be part of a welcoming, inclusive community.
