Introduction
TransRockies. The toughest mountain bike race on earth…
With reality television taking over airwaves of the world it’s hard to make sense of what’s real and what’s real-for-TV.
A lot of television, not much reality. That’s where the TransRockies comes in. Over 500 kilometres and 12 000 vertical metres through the most rugged and majestic terrain the Canadian Rockies have to offer. Real adventure. Real survivors. Really real people.
Think of it as an Amazing Race without all of the boyfriend-girlfriend blow-ups (well maybe not), or a Survivor’s lesson in physical endurance, or an Extreme Makeover in mental discipline.
Even the rewards are real. Friendships, memories, and a chance to call yourself FINISHER.
This is the spirit of the growing international TransRockies brand – Rugged, Adventurous, Real.
