Kicking off the 2026 season with a classic!
The Cowichan Trail Stewardship Society has put together another awesome event in North Cowichan. Back again for this year, the CTSS and community has worked to organize another fun race on Mount Tzouhalem for all ages and skill levels.
If you haven’t participated in an enduro race before, this is the best race to start!
North Cowichan is situated on the traditional territories of the Quw’utsun Nation, which includes the Cowichan Tribes, the Halalt First Nation, the Lyackson First Nation, the Penelakut Tribe, the Stz’uminus First Nation, the Ts’uubaa-asatx First Nation and the Snuneymuxw First Nation.
This statement is not definitive and continues to evolve as we learn. We are committed to understanding the true history of the Indigenous Peoples of this land.

Each Island Cup Enduro Race counts for series points. Each placement is assigned a points value. Points will be calculated and overall titles awarded at the last Enduro race of the year.
The best 5/7 results are used when calculating the overall points. Attend at least 5 races this season to get the maximum points. You must attend 3 races to be eligible for the Overall Title.
Points are awarded every race to the top 30 in each category.
