Bear Mountain XC Bike Race

Bear Mountain is a cross-country (XC) mountain bike race in Mission, BC, about 15 minutes from Abbotsford. Expect tough climbs, fast and flowy downhills, and plenty of mossy West Coast singletrack. Singletrack is a narrow trail wide enough for one rider. Heads or Trails runs the race as a fundraiser for Mission Search and Rescue and the Fraser Valley Mountain Bikers Association.

Course Description

All three distances start and finish at Bear Mountain Park.

13K (550m / 1,804ft of gain): winds all the way up to the top of Bear Mountain, then descends the new segment route down to the aid station.

18K (987m / 3,238ft of gain): winds up and around the backside of Bear Mountain before descending to the first aid station.

36K (1,974m / 6,476ft of gain): two laps of the 18K loop, so you get two shots at the timed segment.
