NEW Registration Options! 

Based on feedback provided from past year’s events, Centurion is proud to introduce a variety of flexible ways that you can tailor your registration choices to meet YOUR needs.

Firstly, is the option to select a timed “Race” wave or an untimed “Tour” wave. That allows for a high margin of safety at the start and keeps groups of like ability together. If you select one of the untimed “Tour” waves, we are happy to pass-on some savings to YOU!

Save $4.00 when you register for a Tour Wave!

Do you have far too many event t-shirts in your closet? Would you rather keep some extra money you your pocket instead? New in 2018, you will have the ability to forgo your event t-shirt and YOU keep those savings!

Save $6.00 if you take a pass on the Event T-Shirt

Are you planning on getting together with your friends and family after your ride at one of the many restaurants in the Blue Mountain Village? Would you rather keep a bit extra in your pocket? You can now skip the post-ride food and take those savings with you to where YOU want to eat!

See http://bluemountainvillage.ca/eat for a complete listing of all your choices.

Save $7.00 if you opt-out of the Post-Ride Food
