Event Information

More than a bike race, IT’S AN EXPERIENCE!

FRASER VALLEY BIKE RACES is a new and exciting race brand in the mountain biking community. We aren’t new to endurance sports though, as we’re the same company that brings you Fraser Valley Trail Races, a running race series with races in Mission, Chilliwack, and Manning Park. We have an emphasis on showcasing the region’s amazing trails, along with supporting the unique biking and outdoor community in the Fraser Valley.

Our races are unique and truly bring culture and community to the trails. Music?  We’ve got it, with live musicians after races.  A beer garden, you say?  Of course, with our craft brew partners on-site post-race sharing their great beer.  Food?  You bet, not only with snacks during the race but a finish line feast for all riders.

We are so excited to announce that our Inaugural Fraser Valley Bike Races event at Bear Mountain will be happening on October 3rd, 2021!

Bear Mountain is a beautiful mountain located just behind the heart of Mission, BC on the traditional territory of the Stó:lō Nation. We are privileged to be guests on the traditional, unceded, ancestral land of the Stó:lō people. We give our thanks and appreciation to the Leq’á:mel First Nation. Leq’á:mel, meaning the level place where people meet, continues to provide that. We value the opportunities Bear Mountain and Red Mountain offer and give our appreciation to gather, meet, and share an experience with others.
