Spakwus Events

If you have raced a mountain bike in Squamish, BC, You have been through the crusher, You have been jammed and jabbed; You have passed the Test. Now you are wondering what is next for one of your favourite riding destinations. Mountain Bike racing will continue in Squamish June 17, 2017 with the announcement of the Spakwus50 Marathon Mountain Bike Race and BC Provincial XCM Championships. Spakwus, which means Bald Eagle in Squamish Nation language, symbolises the wildly majestic beauty that is immediately felt upon entering the Squamish Valley. This has been the fertile hunting grounds of the Bald Eagle for hundreds of years and only recently has become a world renowned destination for cyclists to hunt down and find world class mountain bike trails. These lands provide life to the Bald Eagle but to the mountain biker, these lands can provide meaning. It is this celebration of life and recreation amongst these lands that is the Spakwus50.
