The Course

https://www.trailforks.com/route/golden-50-trail-mtb-race-2025/

We are just a week out from the first ever Golden 50k Trail MTB Race. And it's finally time for the route reveal

And boy do we have a doozy of a course for you.

First the stats:

49.2km

1726m of Descending!

1267 of climbing

You'll experience a little of everything, fast flowy jumps on SuperBerm @ Kicking Horse, techy loamy goodness on upper Canyon Creek and then quick adrenaline inducing single track along the edge of the mighty Canyon Creek.

Next a little old school XC in the Moonrakers with the short but oh-so sweet descents on MoonRaker and Devil's Slide. You'll then wind your way back to the CBT network for 10 of super quick new-school XC goodness.
