The second annual Slow Coast qathet runs the evening of Friday, September 5 to the afternoon of Sunday, September 7, 2025. We will begin approximately at 4:30 pm on Friday, and run until 3 pm (ish) on Sunday.

This is a non-competitive group bikepacking trip starting and ending in qathet. This is a “BeginIntermediate” ride with TWO nights of camping. The route is about 130km long over the weekend.

We are following a similar format to last year in terms of ride expectations, camping, and overall format. Some things are subject to minor changes as we get closer to the event, but will be communicated prior (i.e. date of dinner provided, some route modifications, and small details). If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to slowcoastqathet@gmail.com or message us on instagram (@slowcoastqathet).
