Fernie Tears and Gears was inspired by two friends who loved to trail run (Abi) and mountain bike (Krista), but could never find an event to compete in together. Thus, Fernie’s first Mountain Duathlon was born in 2010 and was held annually until 2019 marking the race's 10th Anniversary. After a six year hiatus, Tears and Gears is back to raise funds for the newly established Abi Moore Scholarship Fund and to continue to encourage people to get out on our amazing trail network, have fun while doing it, support one another, and be a part of an inclusive and welcoming community.
