ST6 Experience

Check your bucket list. Year after year.

Born from the desire to showcase premiere Western Canadian mountain bike communities, Singletrack 6 features a rider-built and maintained route that changes annually. Stages combine epic marathon cross-country loops with timed descents to best suit each location.

BACK FOR 2025! - We want everyone to have the opportunity to experience ST6 their own way, so we’re back with the Half Pint and Full Pint race options!

The Full Pint will be the legendary ST6 we all know and love: a full-bodied, no-holds-barred, “difficult but doable” opportunity to push your boundaries to their limit (Full Pint stages will target 1000m-1500m of climbing per stage). 

Or, if a little moderation is your preference, we present to you the Half Pint: a more approachable singletrack thirst quencher with 100 percent of the taste and only half the calories… ok, maybe a little more than half (Half Pint stages will target 600m-1000m of climbing per stage). 

Timed descents will be offered on the Half Pint routes where possible, and the Half Pint start will take off after the Full Pint (timing to be determined on a stage-by-stage basis). This way, we hope the two groups will eventually merge and ride out the final kilometres together.

Also back in 2025, the three-stage ST3 option will be offered for the Full and Half Pints as a flex pass only, allowing you to choose your own adventure by mixing and matching any three stages. Not sure which Pint to choose? Try them both with the flex pass!

During your time with us, you’ll experience an exceptionally varied six consecutive days of mountain biking as you navigate singletrack that climbs to the high alpine, flows across arid desert-like landscapes and finally descends through lush rainforest. Singletrack 6 is simply the perfect brew of cross-country riding, breathtaking climbs, panoramic vistas and epic descents. There is truly something for everyone.

Family and supporters will also be able to enjoy the festival atmosphere in each host community with plenty to see and do for bikers and non-bikers of all ages in some of the most scenic, friendly and welcoming areas of Canada.

At Singletrack 6, you will definitely Ride the West.

What You Can Expect:

What: A new route every year. 

Where: Six days in the Canadian Rockies, Kootenays or Okanagan. Locations will change from year-to-year. While some locations may be included in multiple years, they may not be featured every year. With so many amazing places to ride, ST6 will look to visit as many of them as possible.

Saddle time: Target of 3-5 hours for the Full Pint and 2-4 hours for the Half Pint per day for most riders. Great riding but with enough left in the tank to hang out with friends and family and have a beer (or two)!
