🇨🇦 WHAT A RIDE, JENNA! 🚵‍♀️🌎

We are still buzzing with excitement about Jenna’s phenomenal 5th-place finish at the UCI Downhill Mountain Bike World Championships in Italy! To finish fifth in the world is an extraordinary achievement, and we couldn’t be more stoked to see where this journey takes her next. ❤️

And Jenna’s 2026 season isn’t over yet! She has three more huge opportunities ahead:

🇺🇸 US Open | Park City, Utah | Sept. 8–13
An opportunity to race internationally, gain valuable experience and exposure, and continue working toward her long-term dream of racing professionally.

🇨🇦 World Cup | Whistler | Sept. 25–27
Jenna earned a Golden Ticket to compete at a World Cup through her performance at SilverStar in August!

🇺🇸 World Cup | Lake Placid
Jenna is hopeful for an invitation to compete in the final World Cup of the 2026 season. With an estimated cost of $7,500, she is already halfway there.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of so many people, Jenna is now just $3,070 away from her $17,500 fundraising goal. 🫶

If you’ve been following Jenna’s journey and cheering her on, please consider helping her finish this incredible season. Racing at this level comes with significant travel and competition costs, and every donation, no matter the amount, helps give this talented young Prince George athlete the opportunity to keep chasing some very big dreams. 🚵‍♀️ ❤️

Let’s help get her to that finish line! Link in bio to her GoFundMe ✌🏽

🇨🇦 FROM PRINCE GEORGE TO THE WORLD STAGE! 🌎🚵‍♀️

Junior Cyclist Grant recipient Jenna Foreman is heading to Italy to represent Team Canada at the 2026 UCI Downhill Mountain Bike World Championships! 🇨🇦🇮🇹

At just 16 years old, Jenna earned her invitation to Worlds after an outstanding 2nd-place finish at the Canadian Downhill Mountain Bike National Championships in the Junior Expert U19 category.

Jenna’s 2026 season has been remarkable. She has stood on the podium at every race she has entered, including four 1st-place finishes to open her BC Cup/Canada Cup season. But what makes her journey even more impressive is everything it has taken to get there.

Training as a downhill athlete in Northern BC means shorter riding seasons, limited access to technical terrain and countless kilometres travelled to train and compete. Jenna has met those challenges with determination, hard work and an incredible commitment to her sport.

And beyond her talent on the bike, Jenna embodies so much of what we hoped to recognize through the Kris Yip Memorial Foundation Junior Cyclist Grant Program: dedication, perseverance, sportsmanship, kindness and giving back to her cycling community.

Supporting young Northern BC cyclists as they pursue big goals was a dream our family had when we created the Foundation in Kris’s memory. Seeing Jenna pull on the maple leaf and take her place on the world stage makes that dream feel very, very real. 🫶

Jenna, we are incredibly proud of you. Ride hard, soak in every moment, and know there is a whole community back home cheering you on. 🇨🇦❤️

🌟 Want to help Jenna on her journey?

Competing at this level comes with significant travel, training,and racing costs, particularly for a young athlete from Northern BC. Jenna’s community has created a GoFundMe to help make these incredible opportunities possible.

Every donation, big or small, helps Jenna get to the start line and continue chasing her dreams on the world stage. 🇨🇦🚵‍♀️🌎

✌🏼🚴🏼‍♀️ Just two weeks ago...

It somehow feels like yesterday.

The excitement at the start line. The cheers from volunteers. The encouragement between riders. The quiet determination on the climbs. The laughter at the finish. Friends reconnecting, new friendships beginning, and a community coming together to celebrate something much bigger than a bike ride.🚴🏼🚴🏽‍♂️

Those are the moments we'll remember long after the kilometres have faded.
The 2026 Kris Yip Memorial Fondo was filled with kindness, sportsmanship, inclusion, and heart, values that Kris lived every day and that continue to inspire this event.🌟

Thank you for making this year's Fondo so memorable. Whether you rode, volunteered, sponsored, supported, or simply came to cheer, you helped create an atmosphere that was truly special.🫶🏼

We're still smiling when we think about it. 💜🚴🏼‍♀️

🚲💜 A heartfelt thank you to our Friends of the Fondo: Ruckus Skis Boards & Bikes , Koops Bike Shop , and Evolve Sport & Cycle .

Having the support of our local bike shop community means so much to us. These businesses do far more than keep bikes rolling. They help grow the sport, welcome new riders, support experienced cyclists, and strengthen the cycling community every single day.

Their support took many forms, each making a meaningful difference. Ruckus provided our SAG wagon service, ensuring riders were supported throughout the route and helping everyone feel safe and cared for on the road. Koops Bike Shop and Evolve Sports & Cycle generously donated prizes, adding to the excitement of the day and helping us celebrate the accomplishments of our participants. Together, they helped create the welcoming, supportive atmosphere that defines the Kris Yip Memorial Fondo.

Thank you for believing in our vision and for helping us continue Kris's legacy of kindness, inclusion, and a love of cycling. We are incredibly grateful to have you as part of the Fondo family.

If you're looking for your next bike, gear, service, or expert advice, we encourage you to support these outstanding local businesses. Together, we're building a stronger cycling community. 💜
