Tears and Gears

Tears and Gears 2025 in Fernie, British Columbia, is a mountain duathlon that blends trail running and mountain biking through Fernie’s renowned trail network. Based at the Elk Valley Nordic Centre, the event is limited to 185 participants and offers Classic Solo (11 km run, 16 km bike), Classic Team, and Youth categories. Participants must pair up or go solo—there’s no run- or bike-only option.

The race marks the return after a six-year hiatus to support the Abi Moore Scholarship Fund and the welcoming local community. Registrants receive a commemorative hat, post-race BBQ by donation, a pint of FBC beer (kid-friendly option), aid stations, and podium prizes.
