Hart Wins Home Race in British Columbia
T
he inaugural Squamish Hard

As a USHE Exhibition race, the
event was part of the schedule,
and USHE racers were encour-

The two-day race sold out at
300 racers, who lined up at an

oceanfront on Friday for the first
day of racing. All classes ran
practice and two qualifying laps,
then were placed into groups for
their finals. Over 1000 specta

Gold Creek Lodge's Declan

Sandra Gomez won the Pro
Women's class, and FMF KTM
Off-Road Racing's Trystan Hart
won the final race.
On Saturday, the format was
a four-hour, two-lap race on a
longer mountain course for the
Expert and Amateur classes in
the morning, with a two-hour
