The TransRockies Race Series team has made the difficult decision to cancel the inaugural gravel stage race TransRockies Gravel Royale – as well as mountain bike stage race Singletrack 6 and running stage race Golden Ultra for 2021.
This decision was made after a new COVID-19 mandate in British Columbia went into effect, which limits the size of ‘outdoor gatherings’ to a maximum of 100 people.
The following events are impacted
- TransRockies Gravel Royale – August 23 -26, 2021
- Singletrack 6 – September 7 – 12, 2021
- Golden Ultra – September 17 – 19, 2021
A release from the organisers noted… ‘The TransRockies organization did everything to try to make the events happen and assured athletes that the best decision was made around this sudden change.
‘The public health orders won’t allow events, and small communities are once again being impacted by COVID-19. TransRockies main priority is to protect the safety of athletes, staff, volunteers and local communities.’
Athletes will soon be receiving information on the 2022 events, which all 2021 athletes will be deferred to with no penalty.
