TransRockies 2008 Registration on Record Pace
Sunday, November 11, 2007
We knew we’d be busy, but when the phone started ringing continuously at 9am on November 1st — an hour before registration opened — it became clear to us that TransRockies truly has grown to become one of the world’s must-do mountain bike races. In the first day alone, nearly 200 of the 300 team spots were taken!
Needless to say we are excited about the interest in the 2008 TransRockies Challenge and want to thank everyone who signed up in the first week — fueling the urgency for the rest of you to get registered before the race sells out! Currently we are over 75 per cent full, with 100 per cent of the Expedition packages spoken for. There are still spots in the Adventure and Epic packages.
At this pace we expect to sell out in the next week, and based on our experience in previous years it’s likely registrations will accelerate as we get closer to full capacity — in other words register NOW! Once the event is full a wait-list feature will become available through online registration. As spots become available those on the wait list will automatically be registered.
Some interesting registration stats thus far:
- 26 countries are already represented: 38% Canada, 17% UK, 15% USA, 5% South Africa, 4% Australia, 4% New Zealand
- Average age: 38
- Categories registered in: Open Men – 45%, 80+ Men – 29%, Open Mixed – 12%, Open Women – 6%, 80+ Mixed – 5%, 100+ Open Gender – 3%
