HMBA 2026 Growler
Race Details:

The Hinton Mountain Bike Association's annual Growler race for 2026. Uses the same race course as 2025 of approximately 5 kilometers with 70 meters of elevation gain. Ride as many laps as you can in 3 hours for the Growler event and 1.5 hours for the Howler event. Tires must be at least 3.8 inches wide or more and studs are permitted. Most of the course is on our winding bike park trails. Features 2 fun flowy downhill sections and lots of up and down and winding trails.

This year we have added the opportunity to have relay teams of 2 to 4 people. If you have a team and use a costume theme you may win a prize for best costume theme. Individual with costumes may win a prize as well.
