Most comfortably done on a cross-country mountain bike, this course packs more than just an elevation punch. With the majority of riding taking place on scenic FSRs that challenge the best 4x4s, this course will test your wheels just as much as your willpower.

Squamish Traverse 100K
Part XC marathon, part gravel grinder, part hillclimb, yet undeniably an epic race. Starting at sea level in Squamish, riders navigate up and over the Diamond Head trail system, en route to the panoramic views of Brohm Ridge. Riders then ascend the steep slopes of the ridge, pedaling through alpine meadows, with stunning views of Mount Garibaldi and the town below. After topping out 1700 meters above Squamish, the course turns around and we do it all over again. The out-and-back course includes over 90 kilometers of off-road terrain, from graded forest service roads to narrow singletrack. Venture through iconic and undiscovered terrain alike, all in one epic day.

Squamish Traverse Peak Route
Ride the crown jewel of the Squamish Traverse, with ample time to soak in the stunning views. This straight-shot route starts in Squamish, but heads straight for Brohm ridge, bypassing Diamond Head zone. The course is fully marked, but not timed, to the base of Brohm Ridge. Starting at Cat Lake aid station, the 12 kilometer ascent, shared with the 100k course, is timed. However, once on top, take in the view, snap some pictures, and enjoy the scenic descent through beautiful alpine meadows. The course is still marked and reconnects with the 100k course for the final few kilometers, finishing where it started. For your climb time to count, you must finish the ride back in Squamish, although it is not timed.
