It's less than two weeks to BC Cup #2 in Revelstoke. The race organizers have the following updates to the Race Notice for athletes, coaches, and spectators.

Trails

We're excited to announce that races will be held on some of our newly constructed trails, largely funded through Columbia Basin Trust, BC Rec Sites & Trails, and . The new sprint trails provide exciting climbs and descents, particularly for the 900m course, being raced by the Juvenile and older categories. Race maps for the Saturday Classic Sprints can be found here [ Race Maps ].

On Sunday, the 2km, 2.75km, 3.75km, and 5km Free Technique Mass Start courses will prove challenging, with some tight corners, steep climbs and fast downhills. (We'd heard that our existing courses were not quite difficult enough, hopefully these new trails will bring out some strong competition!). Race maps for the Sunday Free Technique Mass Start can be found here [ Race Maps ].

Race Format

We will be running a Modified King's Court format for Saturday's Classic Sprint Heats.  All racers will compete in a qualifier and at least one heat.  We will make the final decision on the number of heats offered (maximum of three) to athletes based on total registration and with respect to our limited daylight hours. 

Parking

While we did upgrade the parking lot this summer, we're expecting things to be busy, so we are asking for all teams to carpool. We do have an offsite parking area available at the Big Eddy Pub, but there will not be a shuttle provided, teams will be responsible for shuttling their drivers.

Concession

The concession will be selling three lunch options both Saturday and Sunday: veggie chilli, meat chilli, and turkey noodle soup all served with bread.  Hot chocolate, coffee, cold drinks, bars, and cookies will also be available for sale.  Cash only.
