About Trans-Cascadia
The Trans-Cascadia started as a blind-format, backcountry race in the backcountry and small towns of Cascadia, USA. It includes 4 days of racing and a curated backcountry experience of primitive single-track, gourmet food, and social activities provided by the hosts. We have evolved into an organization that advocates for backcountry trails reclamation and maintenance and a world class bike race that takes place in the fall.
Trans-Cascadia Inc was founded by a group of long-time, bike-industry professionals that hosted the first race in 2015. The event is part of the non-profit’s larger and evolving mission to reclaim, build and maintain sustainable trails in the Pacific Northwest. This work is made possible by the community of volunteers, sponsors and racers that come together at multiple work parties each year to put on the event as a celebration of our accomplishments and promote our region and sport for all to enjoy.
