Registration for the 10th TransRockies will open this coming Friday; October 1st. Anniversaries are always special occasions and the entire TransRockies organization is looking forward to celebrating this milestone.
This also will be Fernie’s 10th year of hosting the TransRockies. Fernie is the sole community to have the honour of being part of all 10 events. Fernie will once again be the start community hosting registration and Stages 1 and 2.
As announced in the last newsletter, we’re offering special registration incentives to past participants to encourage them to come and join us in celebrating with us in 2011. Over the last decade, thousands of racers have come to test themselves against the Rockies have and they have left with a lifetime of stories. With the theme of “Reunion”, we’re encouraging them to come back to retell those old stories and ride through some new ones with a “loyalty discount” of 10% off the base registration fee per past TransRockies participation, per person. In dollar terms, that’s $145 off per TransRockies ridden by either teammate. We’re offering this discount until November 30th, 2010.
We’ve also updated our pricing to be more flexible and allow riders to choose only the add-ons they will use. The $2900 base registration per team can be customized with a variety of single and double occupancy camping, vehicle and meal upgrades. We’re also removing the cancellation fee and will happily transfer your registration to next year if your plans for 2011 run into obstacles.

Having returned to our Alberta roots with a new, more direct route through the Rockies in 2010, we’re again making rider-directed improvements in our 2011 route. Reacting quickly to feedback from 2010, we’ve already been out with local trail experts scouting new routing for stages 4 and 5 to take riders higher into the Rockies and away from the ranchlands that turned so soggy in 2011.
Sign up soon to guarantee your place in our 600-rider TransRockies and TR3 field for 2011. Visit www.transrockies.com for full registration details.
