Back Country Trail Run and Mountain Bike Race
On July 19, 2026, Hidden Valley Ski Resort in Elkwater AB will host a trail run and a mountain bike race. The trail run starts at the resort and follows terrain and trails within Cypress Hills Provincial Park.
The trail run offers the following distances:
- 5 km
- 10 km
The mountain bike race is approximately 10 km. Both events are open to all age groups and include competitive age group categories. The bike race is timed and uses a staggered start to reduce trail congestion, releasing a group of riders every 30 seconds.
All racers receive a finisher medal and race swag, and age group winners receive additional medals. Participants may register for the trail run, the mountain bike race, or both. These events complement an obstacle course race held the previous day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
