Course Description

2.5 km

Start at Pete’s Park, head east through the ball field and enter the Little Shred Riding Hood trail beside the bike park.  Cross the ski hill road into Mine Your Line in the beginner area, then cross the road again to hook back onto Little Shred Riding Hood.  This is where the climbing begins!  Take a left at the first intersection and head straight at the second intersection towards the ski jump.  Follow the trail around, then heads-up for the quad trail that will take you back down to the gas line and over to the short, steep descent into the ISS field and the cheering crowds at the finish line!

5 km

Start at Pete’s Park for a lap-and-a-half around the ball diamond, then head through the fence to the parking lot and enter the Little Shred Riding Hood trail beside the bike park.  At the ski hill road, head right along the road and hook back onto the trail (this is the beginning of the climb).  Take a left at the first intersection and a left at the next intersection onto Double Dirt-Spresso.  This will take you up to the water tower, and coincidentally, the first water station.

After a quick drink, cross the ski hill road and hit the trails again.  Take your first right onto Knotty Flow and admire the nearby mountain bike flow trail (Berm-A-Grin) as you continue to climb.  At the next major intersection, take a left onto Jiffy Pop and enjoy the downhill!  At the bottom of Jiffy Pop, bid a fond farewell to any nearby 10km racers and take a left to get back onto Double Dirt-Spresso. Continue back to the water tower and the second water station (okay, it’s the same as the first water station, but you won’t notice because you’ll be delirious with joy after that sweet downhill).

Head up the ski hill road and onto S’Marten Up which will take you to the luge track.  

Be aware – the course crosses Nothing to Luge twice as soon as you enter the luge track.  Follow the luge track down until you can take a left onto Little Shred Riding Hood.  Follow the trail around, then heads-up for the quad trail that will take you back down to the pipeline and over to the short-but-steep descent into the ISS field and the cheering crowds at the finish line!

10 km

Start at Pete’s Park, head east through the ball field and enter the Little Shred Riding Hood trail beside the bike park.  At the ski hill road, head right along the road and hook back onto the trail (this is the beginning of the climb).  Take a left at the first intersection and a left at the next intersection onto Double Dirt-Spresso.  This will take you up to the Water Tower, and coincidentally, the first water station.

After a quick drink, cross the ski hill road and hit the trails again.  Take your first right onto Knotty Flow and admire the nearby mountain bike flow trail (Berm-A-Grin) as you continue to climb.  At the next major intersection, take a left onto Jiffy Pop and enjoy the downhill!  At the bottom of Jiffy Pop, bid a fond farewell to any nearby 5km racers and take a right to head out on Double Dirt-Spresso.  When you have the option, stay left and continue climbing until the trail pops onto an OHV trail.  Turn right and head west from here, across the top of the Pass Powderkeg Bunny Hill and to the second water station.  

Take a quick sip (or a leisurely drink – we won’t judge), and head up then west across the hill.  If you haven’t been cursing already, you might start as you enter the trees and begin the steep climb.  But never fear, because once you take a right onto Buck 50, you’ll be cruising down to the finish.  Enjoy this section – it will make all of that climbing worthwhile.

Follow the trail all the way back to the short-but-steep descent into the ISS field and the cheering crowds at the finish line!
