DEVO is our youth program. Devo races are built for young riders, and youth entries are usually discounted or free.

RACING WITH KIDS?

EVERY RACE HERE IS RUN BY VOLUNTEERS.

Give a few hours at a race and see it from the other side of the tape. Can't make it? You can donate to EV through the BC Amateur Sport Fund.
