Through a continued comprehensive partnership with Mosaic Forest Management, the series offers exclusive private gravel roads in the remote wilderness, which feature muscle-aching terrain, but also awe-inspiring views that can only be found on the West Coast of BC.

The event schedule is as follows:

May 18 – Burnt Bridge Classic Gravel Fondo, Cowichan Valley BC
June 15 – Nanaimo Unpaved, Nanaimo BC

In partnership with local dealers, Trek Bicycles sees great value in supporting events like the BC Gravel Series. “Growing on the momentum from last year’s events, we are excited to support this great opportunity for people to ride their bikes in well-organized events with world-class routes,” said Trek’s Canadian Marketing Manager, Taylor Cook.

Mosaic Forest Management continues to be a foundational partner and sees the BC Gravel Series event as a great opportunity to connect with the community. “Thanks to our solid partnership with the Trek Gravel Series, Mosaic is able to support a well-run, challenging and memorable race, representing one aspect of the recreational opportunities we strive to offer for everyone’s enjoyment,” says Jimmie Hodgson, Mosaic’s acting Vice President of Sustainability and Chief Forester.

The 2025 Trek BC Gravel Series hosted by Mosaic Forest Management is also partnered with key municipal partners such as the City of Campbell River, Cowichan Valley Regional District, Nanaimo Hospitality Association, and the Village of Cumberland.

“After a great inaugural event in 2024, we are thrilled to be kicking off the 2025 Trek BC Gravel Series in Campbell River with the 2nd annual River City Gravel Fondo,” says Trevor Dalton, Business Development Officer for the City of Campbell River. “This event was a fantastic way to showcase the exceptional biking terrain we have here in Campbell River, and we look forward to welcoming even more competitors next April for the first race of the series.”
