A HUGE thank you to all who came out to this year’s Trek ! It was a beautiful day and the course was in pristine condition. Thank you for all of your support. It was a challenging year to get things off the ground, and although we had some setbacks, we ended up with a weekend to remember.

A big shoutout to our sponsors and , our awesome vendors in the expo, and for their continued support, to our guest riders and , and last but certainly not least our team of amazing volunteers.

Race results can be found at zone4.ca. Congrats to all our winners, but also to everyone who participated! Photos will be available for free this year. Link to come in the next couple of days. We will announce when they are available. In the meantime, enjoy a few of the photos!

Timed segments are now online at seaottercanada.com when you view each route. The timed segment format allows you to ride casually with your friends, and still be able to race for the win! Fastest combined times in those segments determines the winner in each category. Each times segment will be marked by a sign about 1km before it starts, indicating the distance and elevation gain, so you can get mentally prepared. Then the segment will be marked with start and finish signs.

Along the route, there will also be direction signs if the different routes go separate ways. Look out for your chosen distance sign and make sure you follow it! If you ride a different route than what you signed up for, your times will be invalid.

First race? Don’t worry! This format is fun-focused. The timed segments also make for a safer course, as there is no pressure to go fast in more dangerous areas. It is NOT a closed course, so rules of the road are to be followed at all times.

See you Saturday! There’s still time to register if you haven’t already. Link in bio. Registration closes at 12:00 noon on Friday.

The brief will tell you everything you need to know about race weekend, including where you need to be and when. Every rider needs to pick up their Race Package before they can ride, and every rider needs to sign the waiver before they can pick up their package. To save yourself time at pickup, we recommend you print the waiver at home, sign it, and bring it with you to pick up. Times and locations for pick up are in the brief and on the website.
