As we move into 2022, we’re excited to announce the addition of Jen Ashton to the TransRockies Race Series team as our new Customer Service and Race Office Manager. Jen will be the first point of contact for all participants, both via email and at our Canadian and US events. If you have questions, she’ll have answers, or will at least know where to find them.
Read MoreEven though it’s changed, the core of what has always made this a great event remains the same: adventure, community and a chance for people to push their limits with world-class riding. So we thought this would be the perfect time to take a look back on an event that has been the foundation of the TransRockies Race Series for more than two decades.

Dear Singletrack 6 Athletes:
The British Columbia Government has issued a new COVID-19 health mandate that states: “outdoor organized events will be limited to 100 people,” in the Interior Health Region going into effect on Monday, 8-23.
Due to this development we have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2021 Singletrack 6 event.
Read MoreIn 2021, Singletrack 6 is going back to our roots. We’re visiting two host communities that are undeniably rider favourites: Fernie and Rossland. They’re mountain biking meccas, and the new routes we have planned for their stages are sure to cement their standing as Singletrack 6 classics. But just to keep things interesting, we’re throwing in a lesser-known destination—Kimberley, British Columbia.
Read MoreIt’s tempting to think of a stage race as just a bunch of single-day races spread out over multiple days. But there’s more to it than that. Small mistakes can add up over the course of, in our case at Singletrack 6, six days. Stage racing is something different, and racers with a stage race-specific plan can not only improve their position on the leaderboard, but the fun factor as well.
Read MoreNutrition for training and stage racing can be a confusing subject. That’s especially true for stage racing, where you need to take into account racing over consecutive days. And with the endless streams of studies, articles, diets and experts weighing in it can be hard to sort through all the noise.
Read MoreThat’s right, the town of Rossland, British Columbia has been crowned the Mountain Bike Capital of Canada. It was named that by Canada’s Explore Magazine, and as an early adopter of mountain biking, was instrumental in helping to turn British Columbia into the mountain biking destination that it is today.

Read MoreTimed descents have been part of Singletrack 6 since day one. They’re an opportunity for the downhill specialists to shine and make their mark on a race often dominated by climbers.
Read MoreOver the course of 5 editions of Singletrack 6, we’ve visited more than 14 host communities and covered thousands of kilometers of singletrack. Each year is a new adventure! Planning a new route each and every year is no easy task—in fact, most other stage races don’t even try. But luckily, our home turf in British Columbia and Alberta has a seemingly endless number of trails to choose from.
Read MoreFernie holds a special place in the hearts of all of us here at TransRockies Race Series. It was the first host community we visited nearly twenty years ago for our inaugural TransRockies Challenge and the only community to have hosted all 13 of the Challenge’s. Since we updated the race and rebranded it Singletrack 6 in 2014, we’ve continued to return because of the great riding, endless hospitality and good fun!
Read MoreSingletrack 6 visits some amazing communities. Rossland, Nelson, Fernie, Revelstoke...the list goes on. These and many of our other host communities have gained legendary status as ski destinations for their epic snowfall and spectacular terrain. They’re stops along what’s known as the ‘Powder Highway’. But they’re starting to become well known for mountain biking as well.
Read MoreIf you’ve never done a stage race, it’s hard to know what to expect, and that can make bike selection complicated. Each race has its own set of unique characteristics that need to be considered and Singletrack 6 is no exception. It’s an adventure, and having the right bike under you will help make it a gratifying and unforgettable experience!
Read MoreFrom its inception in 2014, few riders have embodied Singletrack 6’s spirit of adventure, camaraderie and determination more completely than Travis Hauck. As an ST6 ambassador, Travis is well known at the TransRockies Race Series mountain bike stage races, and is one of the people that make these events a truly special experience.
Read MoreI hope this finds you well, and enjoying some time out on the trails! A few weeks ago we shared our decision making criteria for proceeding with the remaining 2020 events on our calendar based on the covid-19 pandemic. Since that time, the British Columbia Government has released their restart plan which outlines the pace of return for all aspects of society.
