big part of TransRockies. The TR4 route has been designed to showcase the best biking trails in the Alberta Rockies. The route features trails that have been favourite local rides for decades, plus plenty of trails that have been constructed in recent years by mountain bikers, for mountain bikers.
Includes: optional $50 donation to the Fernie Trails Alliance, Louis Garneau jersey, finisher t-shirt, TransRockies duffle bag, fully stocked check points, medical and course support, post stage catering, nightly awards and slideshow, final banquet, 3 nights tent camping post stages 1, 2 and 3 (No accommodations provided post stage 4).

All of our routing has been recorded by GPS and thoroughly checked before the race, but mother nature sometimes has little surprises that mean last minute course changes. Don’t be surprised if there are small changes to the routing or stats before race day. Please note that all information is subject to change. Elevation gain/loss data collected by GPS can be highly inaccurate and varied depending on how it is measured and the equipment used. Our elevation data should approximate the measurements obtained by a portable GPS unit. TransRockies Events does not endorse riding all routes outside of the event. Some trails may not normally be open for riding or may be unrideable at certain times of year. Please obey all signs and respect current trail conditions.
