What an incredible weekend with the KCIBR!

From Haines Junction to Haines, we watched hundreds of riders take on one of the most beautiful and challenging relays out there. None of it would be possible without the amazing people behind the scenes.

Thank you to our volunteers, checkpoint crews, sponsors, officials, emergency services, host communities, and every rider and support person who made this weekend such a success. Your energy, patience, and countless hours of work are what keep this event going year after year.

And to the riders—thank you for trusting us with your race weekend. Seeing your smiles, determination, and team spirit is what makes all the hard work worth it.

Here's to another unforgettable KCIBR.

Here are a few pictures of the road construction around the Chilkat River Bridge. Road construction will be paused for next Saturday's event. But be prepared for packed gravel sections around the bridge. See you all next weekend! A big THANK YOU to Richard Clement for the photos.

This year's relay is a pretty special one...

🏁 From 1993 to 2016, the relay crossed the finish line 24 times.
❄️ 2017 was cancelled due to snow.
🚴 2018 & 2019 brought us back for two more amazing editions.
🦠 2020 was cancelled because of COVID.
💻 2021 went virtual.
🦠 2022 was another COVID cancellation.
🚴 And from 2023 to 2026, we've added four more in-person relays.

Thirty years of teammates, headwinds, laughter, border crossings, finish-line celebrations, and unforgettable memories. Here's to everyone who has ridden, volunteered, cheered, and supported the relay over the years.
