Initiatives
Committed to our Community.
Anything Goes Event Series is committed to leaving a legacy within the communities we host events in. Since the creation of our first event, the Fernie Gravel Grind, we have donated over $31,527 back to the community through donations and our own initiatives including our youth racing initiative created to get more kids to the start line to races of their choice.
Tidy Trails Initiative with Marin Bikes
We’re excited to team up with Marin Bikes and bring their Tidy Trails initiative back to our events in 2024. We love the places we ride and we’re on a mission to keep them safe and clean for the future.
This is Tidy Trails and we’re waging war on trash. Read more here
Anything Goes Event Series is committed to getting more youth into the sport.
The LAUNCH! Youth Racing Grant is designed to break down barriers for kids to enter and experience the sport of cycling. We are strong believers that sport and competition provide the opportunity to develop lifelong skills. We aim to provide an equal opportunity to youth who wish to enter the sport and create cyclists for life.
In partnership with Cannondale and supporting sponsors Shimano, Lazer, 7Mesh Apparel and Ski Base Fernie, we will be equipping two riders (18 years old or younger) with the equipment, guidance and racing opportunities to break into the sport of gravel cycling.
The two selected riders will receive a Cannondale Topstone, Shimano riding shoes & pedals, Lazer helmet, 7Mesh riding jersey and shorts and entries to the Fernie and Cranbrook Gravel Grind!
Applications are now closed for 2024.
