Salmon Arm hosts the B.C. High School Mountain Biking Provincials May 26, with over 200 riders from across B.C. set to hit the South Canoe trails in force to single out the best team in the province.

Some riders and coaches took the opportunity to get in a few practice runs and get a feel for the trails when they opened for practice rides May 25.

Spectators are welcome to attend and cheer on riders as they speed across the finish line. Event parking can be found at the gravel pit near the South Canoe trailhead at 10 Avenue SE and 70 Street SE.

The cross-country heats start at 8:45 a.m. and run through to 11 a.m.. After a short lunch break, the enduro riders will be ripping away from the start line from 12:15 - 2:30 p.m..

After the final racers finish their will be a short awards ceremony around 3:15 p.m., where racers will receive their results and winners will be determined.
