May 6th XC Race & Ride
Get ready for SORCA XC #2 on Wednesday, May 6. This round features a "Where’s Waldo" theme and is supported by DHaRCO, Tacofino, Cinco Drink Co., and SOARE.
Tackle a fast, fun XC course featuring a secret timed downhill (DH) section for extra speed. Spot the Where's Waldo trail marshals on the trails to score extra entries into awesome prize draws at après!
After the race, join us at the DHaRCO and SOARE car park for the après from 7:00pm to 10:00pm. We will have Tacofino tacos, Cinco drinks, and parking lot games, all paired with sets from DJ TORO and DJ Riddim Fernandez. It might get chilly once the sun goes down, so bring a jacket to stay comfortable while you enjoy the music. A raffle at the après will raise funds for our local trails and Re:Bike, so come prepared to support these great causes.
Registration is open now via the Spruce Registrations Race Series form. Please remember that a 2026 SORCA membership is required.

Squamish Enduro - Sunday, May 3rd
With approximately 800 riders on course, it is going to be a very busy Sunday on the trails! The Squamish Enduro mountain bike race is happening on select trails surrounding Squamish this Sunday, May 3. While participants have been advised to share the trail with other users, it is likely in your best interest to ride other areas of the network on race day to avoid the crowds.
The event is fully permitted with land access permission from all owners. The Squamish Enduro team works in collaboration with SORCA to contribute directly back to our local trail network, and they appreciate your cooperation and understanding.
For those racing and attending the après, make sure to grab some raffle tickets on-site. There is an incredible lineup of prizes up for grabs with all proceeds going back to the trails you love!
Prize donors include:
OneUp Components
Ride Wrap

Squamish Enduro
Thank you to Squamish Enduro and their partners for supporting this raffle. The raffle alone raised over $12,000 for our trails over the last three years!
We look forward to seeing everyone out there racing, volunteering, and cheering on the trails.
Thank you, Nesters Market Squamish!
We would like to share a huge thank you to Nesters Market Squamish for their long-standing support as a Blue Square corporate sponsor. Nesters plays a vital role in our event season, from hosting Socials to keeping our racers fueled by providing all the food for our marquee race aid stations.
Beyond the events, they are also a key retail partner for SORCA merchandise, funds that go directly back into the maintenance and advocacy of our trail network. Thank you, Nesters Market, for your ongoing commitment to our trails and our riders!
Spring Raffle Round-Up
Our spring raffle was a huge success, netting over $8,000 for the trails. We are still finalizing the official total, but the support from the community has been incredible.
A massive thank you goes out to our Black Diamond sponsor, Day Time Cycling, and Ibis Cycles for making this possible. Their generosity directly supports the maintenance and advocacy work we do year-round.
Congratulations to our lucky winners; Sean King from Port Moody is taking home the Ibis Ripmo AF, and Philippe Richard from Whistler, the winner of our 50/50 draw.
Thank you to everyone who purchased a ticket and contributed to the future of our trail network!
