It is the 110th Anniversary of the completion of the Kettle Valley Railway and the 111th anniversary of the completion of Myra Canyon trestles. The trestles were re-opened in 2008, (17 years ago) after the 2003 Okanagan Mountain Fire with a great celebration. Now it is time to celebrate this amazing trail and history again.

The event supports the KVR Rail Trail and BC Parks.

Abandoned railway corridors hold unparalleled opportunities as recreational trails, and the Kettle Valley Railway is no exception. This corridor is one of the most dynamic routes in Canada, with some truly impressive scenery and spectacular views. The 80 km route is challenging with the average time being 5.5 hours. The 40km route will take approximately 2.5 -3.5 hours. Cycling this trail is truly a dynamic and challenging venture that unfolds over the expanse of place and time. The 2025 event will be celebrating the Trans Canada Trail and the historic KVR Rail Trail.
