Scott Downhill Race Series 2024 Presented by Dakine
Race Details:
Everyone’s favourite weekly bike race series is back for 2024 – The Scott Downhill Race Series, Presented by Dakine!
Come out each week for a fun, gravity-fed downhill race followed by prizing, results, and a beverage at Legends. This year, we are changing the Thursday Night Races slightly following feedback from last summer. The Scott Thursday Night Race series will now be for Youth, Adults, and Masters (Kids aged 8-12 can join our Scott Wednesday Night Downhill Development Series) and will focus more on riding intermediate to advanced courses.
Races run weekly from June 27th to August 29th, with the exception of July 3rd & 4th, to allow our team to prepare for the Canadian National DH Championships.
Changes for this year:
- More challenging routes
- Open to ages 13 & up
- For those looking for a more relaxed downhill biking environment, check out our Scott Wednesday Night Downhill Development Series (open to ages 8+). The trails are aimed at beginners—intermediates and focus more on developing your riding! You’ll still get recorded time to work on improving, but there will be no “league” element.

FORMAT:
The race will be on a different bike trail each week. Racers will get one lap down the designated course and are timed via our manual Webscorer App. The course will be open to the public all day, and racers are encouraged to take a practice run as no formal training run will occur. Following the race, competitors can head over to Legend’s and trade in their race plate for a cold beverage to enjoy as times are tabulated. The prize ceremony will follow in the plaza approx. 20-30 min after the last racer has crossed the finish line. Weekly prizes are given out via draw prizes, plus competitors accumulate points at each race, and series champions in each category are crowned at the final race (please note racers must compete in a minimum of 3 races over the season to qualify for the overall standings).
