Last year's event was such a resounding success we thought why not do another.    Coming to you from Small Town Race Series x Golden Cycling Club!  Sign up as a biker, as a runner, or sign up as EITHER! This will help ensure we have balanced numbers for teams.    This year, we are supporting the BC Special Olympics with proceeds from the event! Local athletes will be out there racing and volunteering, so come and join in on the fun and feel free to volunteer if you're not keen on the race part.    What's a Duathlon you ask??! It's a combined sport of running and biking. This will be a wee bit different than a regular Duathlon though. You will be randomly assigned a partner. This will be a great opportunity to meet new people and share the trails in a radical new way. And this year, participants will be doing multiple laps! The team with the most laps at the end, wins. It's simple... It'll be so much fun and there will be plenty of random prizing! Come on out and support Golden's special Olympics athletes!    RUN ROUTE: https://www.strava.com/routes/3383606704373119512 BIKE ROUTE https://www.trailforks.com/route/gcc-strs-2025-duathlon/   This event is limited to 50 teams so please sign up in advance!  Volunteers are the backbone of these events and can also register below.   This race is open to Members and Non-Members of the GCC.  Invite all your friends, runners and bikers alike!   If you would like to register to be a GCC member, you can purchase your membership by clicking here.

Like the Skills Park? Like to jump? Like to eat burgers? Like to practice your "Roll Downs"? Come join us!   Get ready for an evening of trail love and bike skills at the Keith King Skills Park! We'll start with a 1-hour weed pull to help maintain and care for our riding space — a great way to give back to the skills park we love. Please try to make it for this portion of the event. We need all the help we can get! After the clean-up, we’ll roll into a coached skills session focused on “Roll Downs” — a key skill for riding over rocks, roots, and steeper features with control. This session is ideal for experienced beginners to intermediate riders who are looking to refine their technique and build a strong foundation to progress their riding. The skill session will be led by our board member, Meagan, who is certified with PMBIA & GSMBC and coaches with Shred Sisters.  Already conquered your roll down technique? Skip the skills session and join in on a Jump Jam and BBQ.   What to bring:  - Gloves for the weed pull - Water - Your bike & helmet - A positive attitude! Let’s get our hands dirty, learn some new skills, and send it together! Register here, or just show up! Share with your friends and see you soon :)

Join the Golden Cycling Club and CSISS for a stewardship event at the bottom of Snake Hill. We’ll be removing spotted knapweed, burdock and other invasive plants that threaten the recreational spaces at the bottom of Snake Hill.  This area is where the Psychosis Race Course ends and sees alot of traffic from Mount 7! This is a great chance to make a hands-on difference while enjoying the outdoors. Snacks, refreshments, gloves, and tools will be provided! Let’s work together to protect our recreation spaces in the Town of Golden. Meet at the bottom of Snake Hill.  Did you know that bikers can prevent the spread of invasive species along trails by cleaning your shoes, bikes and gear before and after using trails?

The Golden Cycling Club and the Golden Family Center are thrilled to announce that Schach Therapy will be held again this spring. Grab some friends and take on the full climb and descent of The Schacher in teams of 2, 3, or 4. This year, e-bikes and runners are included too!  We have also partnered with the Golden Rotary Club to host a community BBQ and with Whitetooth Brewery for an event that will include a social gathering and an art installation. The Breakdown 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 can only switch riders/runners out at specific locations: the road crossing at 5.5k, 10k, and the launch. Runners are only allowed to take uphill legs. If one person on your team is on an e-bike, please sign up for the e-bike category.  Leg #1 - 6.0km +538m - Bowle-Evan road - Woodlot ride trail - Schacher to just above the 5km on the Bowle-Evan road.   Leg #2 - 6.3k +500m - Schacher to 10k trail junction.    Leg #3 - 3km +306m - Schacher to launch The Descent:  Choose Your Adventure From the launch site to the Reflection Lake parking lot. All Riders MUST pass through the checkpoint at 5k, the only location for a rider switch and finish on 5k to the finish at Reflection Lake parking lot. No descending the Schacher, except the section from Summit connection to B52. (ex. if you are taking the summit down to the summit connect to B52 to 5k) It is required for teams to submit their descent route during event plate pickup. We recommend carpooling to shuttle riders to their starting points and ideally having the ascenders drive the vehicles back down to Reflection Lake for the finish.  All teams must check in when all team members are back at the Reflection Lake Parking lot.  To participate, individuals must be at least 12 years old or older. Or accompanied by an adult at all times  Tickets are $35 per rider. Proceeds go to the Golden Family Center.  While a GCC membership is not mandatory, we highly recommend supporting the club and joining. Every participant must sign the GCC Waiver. GCC Waiver.

Join us for the Phat Burner Fat Bike Race! The Phat Burner is back for the third year and will take advantage of our flowy, freshly groomed fat biking trails in the Golden area.  This year, the race will take place in the upper CBT area and take advantage of some downhill from the top of Kicking Horse. The race will start at the entrance to Scallimag at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, and flow down towards the 'bug trails', forming a counter-clockwise loop on Odonata, CBT, and Hemiptera, before finishing at the Cedar Lake Corner on Kicking Horse Rd. We'll bump you back up to your vehicle from there, so there's no need to burst a lung climbing back up Scallimag. See the course here:  Expect a little bit of everything, including some flowy downhill. Race for the podium, or challenge yourself with a group of like-minded weirdos. Prizes, sponsorship, and all around good vibes from Higher Ground Sports. If you'd like to try the race but don't have a fat bike, rent one from Higher Ground!
