PRESS RELEASE

BMX Canada Nationals take over the Sea to Sky region.

The battle for BMX supremacy in the Pacific Northwest heads to Squamish BMX for the Sea to Sky BMX Nationals — the third of seven National weekends stretching from BC all the way to Ontario.

Over 600 competitors from Canada and the United States will go head-to-head in pursuit of National titles and district points. The race format features riders grouped in heats of up to eight based on age, gender, and ability. Alongside the racing, attendees can explore vendors, team setups, appearances from Olympic hopefuls, and a range of food options available on-site.

Participants as young as two years old will compete on strider-style bikes around half the course and there are racing divisions for a wide range of ages and skill levels, including Superclass — the premier BMX racing category featuring prize money for top finishers in the men’s and women’s divisions.

Admission is free for spectators, with races running from Friday, June 12 through to Sunday, June 12. The event is sanctioned by BMX Canada and supported by Impact Canopy, Tangent Products, and Fly Racing. A full schedule can be found here.

For BMX Canada licensed riders who have yet to experience a National event, a BOGO (Buy One, Get One) offer is available to help more participants get involved. Full BOGO details can be found here.
