The Spud Crusher Women’s Enduro in Pemberton
Looking for a unique women’s mountain biking event in one of British Columbia’s most beautiful valleys? Say hello to The Spud Crusher Women’s Enduro, an unforgettable day of biking, community, and celebration brought to life by the Pemberton Off Road Cycling Association (PORCA).
This isn’t just another enduro. It’s a women-led, women-focused event that captures the heart of mountain biking in Pemberton — fun, friendly, and fiercely empowering.
What Is the Spud Crusher?
Held annually in the lush, loamy trails of Pemberton, the Spud Crusher Women’s Enduro is an enduro-style mountain bike race that welcomes riders of all skill levels. With carefully curated stages that celebrate Pemberton’s iconic singletrack and friendly support all around, it’s less about the podium and more about the ride.
Expect everything you love about a great mountain biking day:
- Timed downhill stages that keep the adrenaline pumping
- Social, untimed climbs so you can ride at your own pace
- A focus on connection, encouragement, and community
PORCA’s mission with the Spud Crusher is to create a space where women can challenge themselves, ride epic trails, and feel celebrated for simply showing up.
If you’re wondering about the name… Pemberton is famous for its potatoes. It’s a nod to the Valley’s agricultural roots and playful community spirit!
By Women, For Women
The event is designed by women, for women, and all are invited to participate! From first-timers to seasoned rippers, the Spud Crusher is about showing up and having a blast on the trails.
You don’t need to be a pro. You just need a bike, a sense of adventure, and a willingness to get a little dusty.
The Spud Crusher isn’t your typical high-pressure race — it’s all about the joy of riding and celebrating every pedal stroke.
While it’s technically a race, the atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, where laughter is just as common as cheers at the finish line. Throughout the day, riders are supported by a vibrant community of volunteers, trail marshals, and fellow participants who are there to encourage and celebrate every effort.
After the final stage, the good vibes continue with a lively après gathering featuring prizes, local food and drinks, and plenty of trail tales shared among new friends!
When and Where
The Spud Crusher typically rolls out each May, a perfect time of year when the trails are tacky and the weather is prime for riding. Hosted on the famed Pemberton trail network, riders can expect a mix of flow, tech, and views that go on forever.
The event kicks off in the morning with registration and a pre-ride briefing, followed by the enduro stages, and wraps up with food, drinks, and good vibes at a local après spot.
