Fernie High Roller 2026

Event Description

The Fernie High Roller is a poker run style epic day on the trails taking you around some of the best peaks in town. Make it as challenging as you like with 3 route options; The High Roller, The Low Roller and Mini Roller (kids ride).

Bonus – we will be adding a Little Critters race to the end of the day in Annex Park, so there is something to take part in for all ages

How It Works

When you sign in you will receive a punch card with the trails listed in each route on it. At the top of each trail there will be hole punch (with a unique shape – so no cheating!) to punch your card with. The more trails you check off, the more playing cards you will earn for your poker hand. When riders return to Annex Park you will trade in your punch card for playing cards and have a chance at playing the best poker hand to win prizes!

This event can be done running or biking.
