RACER CHECK-IN:
All racers must check-in at Guest Services on the day of the race to pay their $5 registration fee and collect their race plate. The dedicated check-in desk at Guest Services will be open from 12 pm – 6 pm every Thursday.
FORMAT:
Racers will get one lap down the designated course and are timed via our manual Webscorer App.
The course will be open to the public all day and racers are encouraged to take a practice run as no formal training run will take place.
Following the race, competitors can head over to Legends Mountain Eatery and trade in their race plate for a cold beverage to enjoy as times are tabulated.

Only competitors and race officials will be allowed in the starting area (exceptions will be made for parents with kids racing, please contact the event organiser to discuss this further).

In the midst of the Covid-19 Pandemic, TransRockies has taken the unprecedented step of rescheduling Singletrack 6 to September. This decision made in consultation with host communities, participants, and health authorities. It now appears that the original June dates would be impossible for our communities to accommodate and for many of our participants to travel.
The 2020 TransRockies Singletrack 6 will now take place on the following dates:
September 8-9: Rossland, BC
September 10-11: Kimberley, BC
September 12-13: Fernie, BC
Note that the direction of travel has now been reversed, starting in Rossland and finishing in Fernie, to accommodate pre-scheduled events in the host communities. Fernie will be the finish community and host the athletes for two stages and three nights. Fernie stage details have yet to be defined, details will be coming.
Registration details:
Your registration has been automatically transferred to the new dates, but realize that these are difficult circumstances for our participants and it may be challenging to change their plans to accommodate the new dates. Flexible change options have been offered in light of this. If you cannot make the new dates these are your options:
– Rollover you registration to 2021 or 2022 Singletrack 6.
– We will waive the administration fee if you need to rollover your credit. Proposed 2021 dates are July 15-20 but have not been finalized yet.
– Transfer your registration to someone else. Administration fee for this transfer waived.
– Transfer your registration credit to another TransRockies event for 2020 or 2021 (for you or someone else).
If you wish to take advantage of any of these options please email registration@transrockies.com. Please do this as soon as you can but no later than August 8, 2020. Please note that the final balance payment scheduled to be charged on March 30th will not be charged until July 1, 2020. They will be keeping the 250 person field limit in effect until event restrictions are lifted – registration spots are currently still available for the September 8-13 event. Unfortunately, TRI is not able to offer refunds.
