Schach Therapy - June 1st, 2024

A mountain bike relay race or ride for the cause on Mount 7, followed by an evening event featuring a public speaker and a short film series.

The Race or Ride for the Cause

Teams of 2, 3, or 4, climbing and descending Mount 7.  The climb starts at the Reflection Lake parking lot and takes the Schacher Trail to the launch site then descends the route of your choice. 

The Climb: The Schacher 15km

The Schacher trail was completed in 2018, providing a single track trail from town to the Mount 7 launch site.  Local family man Sean Schacher was the inspiration for this trail, and it was the drive of local family man/good-guy-with-superhero-powers Jeremy Harris who made it happen. Both of these 2 local riders now ride along in spirit with you on this ride.

Teams may switch riders out at specific locations; the road crossing at 5.5k, 10k, and the launch.

The Descent:  Choose your adventure

From the launch site to the Reflection Lake parking lot. All Riders MUST pass through 5k, which is the only location for a rider switch.

No descending the Schacher, except the section from Summit connection to B52. (ex. if you are taking the summit down to summit connect to B52 to 5k)

At registrations teams must submit their descent route during race number pickup so we know where you'll be.

Unfortunately, there is no E-bike category this year.  

To participate, individuals must be at least 12 years old or older.

Each team member must have a GCC Membership. To obtain your membership, CLICK HERE.

Tickets are $30 per rider. All proceeds go to the Golden Family Center.
