Get stoked! The Sooke Bike Club is amped to throw down the second Island Cup Enduro of the year!
Sooke’s rugged, raw, hand-built trails are ready to push your limits. Rocky chutes, techy corners, and all the jank you love (or fear). This zone rewards riders who can dance between chaos and flow, so dial in those pre-rides and learn the lines.
Come test yourself against some of the Island’s gnarliest terrain and the riders who know how to send it. This is going to be fast, loose, and unforgettable.
Sooke is located on the traditional territory of the Coast Salish Peoples who have lived on these lands since time immemorial. We gratefully acknowledge the T’SOU-KE and SC’IȺNEW̱ Nations and their enduring relationship with the land, waters, and all beings.
We honour the deep knowledge systems, cultural teachings, and enduring stewardship of Indigenous Peoples. With humility, we commit to learning, listening, and working in partnership – respecting the wisdom that comes from the land and from generations of lived experience.

PARKING + SHUTTLE INFO – READ BEFORE YOU RIDE!
The main Harbourview Parking Lot is tiny and will be reserved for event volunteers and park users not involved with the race. To keep things smooth with local residents and maintain open access for emergency vehicles, absolutely NO parking on Harbouview Road. Let’s keep the community happy so we can keep riding and running events here.
Rider Parking:
FREE SHUTTLE!
Thanks to the legends at Electric Alpine Biking, a shuttle running from Saseenos Elementary between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm. Load up, chill out, and get dropped right where you need to be.
Reminder, the after-race festivities will be hosted at the Sooke Oceanside Brewery. Plan ahead, park smart, and let’s make this event hassle-free.
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.
