The Lone Wolf Race

Event Date(s): 
Saturday, September 24, 2022
Time: 

RACE STARTS SEPTEMBER 24, 2022

REGISTRATION OPENS APRIL 15, 2022

So, what is the Lone Wolf? A simple, fun, looped race. But there’s a catch. Racers start together on the hour as a pack, needing to finish the loop within the hour. As when the next hour strikes, the race starts again, in the opposite direction. The goal? To complete as many loops as you can.

Riding for Mental Health

Posted: 
May 13, 2022

Studies show that spending time in nature can improve our mental health and sharpen our cognition. It came to no surprise then that when a local avid biker decided to bike from sunrise to sunset for Summer Solstice in 2020, as the pandemic was in its infancy and we were faced with so many unknowns, he approached the Elk Valley Suicide Task force to partner and raise much needed funds and awareness through what would be called the Solstice Ride for Mental Health.
