We also have an after party planned, open to all, that is taking place at Wolf Brewing at 6:00pm. If you are interested in attending the after party (which includes food and an optional beer), be sure to purchase your ticket when you register for the race. Note, this is an additional cost above the cost of race registration. Feel free to buy a ticket for a friend or partner too!

To add to the stoke, we will be having random-draw prizes for everyone who is registered for the race. This means that you do not need to win in order to get some swag. The best part is that our prize stock pile continues to grow!

Finally, we want to thank everyone in advance for registering for the event. Your race registration fees help us build and maintain the trail network around Nanaimo. You and your support help keep our riding community rad. Thanks again!
