Canada Does Touratech 2024
Share
Last year, the Sea to Sky Adventure Motorcycle Group made their debut at Touratech after the pandemic hiatus, and our Canadian presence was impossible to miss. Amidst the sea of Maple Leafs and the pleasant Canadian accents, our fearless motorcycle riders left a lasting impression on our American hosts.
Post-event, discussions were held with the Touratech Event Manager, and plans are underway to make the Canadian Contingent even more prominent at the 2024 Rally. As we approach the event, stay tuned for more details, but rest assured, it's gearing up to be the most enjoyable experience yet.
For those who haven't attended a Touratech Rally, here are some tips to enhance your experience:
1. Register early and consider volunteering for a more immersive experience.
2. Pack a lightweight tent, and be prepared for chilly nights and mornings.
3. Bring sturdy boots, as the terrain tends to be dry and dusty.
4. Expect outdoor showers, cold ones at that, and plenty of handwashing stations and portable toilets.
5. Don't miss the final night; the wrap-up party is known for being incredibly fun and social.
Rally Background
The Touratech Rally began 14 years ago as a small customer-appreciation weekend that involved riding, camping and sharing good times around the campfire. With this simple formula, and a whole lot of fun, it’s grown into the largest gathering of Adventure Motorcycle enthusiasts in the country.
The 2024 Rally will begin on Thursday, June 27 at 12pm and ends at 1pm on Sunday, June 30.
While the core of the event has stayed the same, each year Touratech finds new ways to pack in even more fun activities & experiences:
- Enjoy rides where you will explore twisty mountain dirt roads with breathtaking vistas in the heart of the Cascade Mountains. We’ll offer at least eight different route options on Friday and Saturday. The routes are designed to have something for everyone.
- Factory DEMO Rides are available! In 2023 KTM, Harley-Davidson, Triumph, Yamaha, Kove, and Ducati all attended!
- Learn tips and tricks from adventure experts during onsite clinics and classes or take inspiration from presentations by fascinating motorcycle travelers.
- Improve your off-road skills with a rider-training course taught by world-class instructors. Four different riding schools will be offering on-site training classes for an extra fee.
- Test-ride the latest models of adventure motorcycles from factory demo trucks.
- Meet moto-venders with goods and services geared towards you and win raffle prizes from Touratech and other companies.
- Enjoy evening campfires and hang out with Touratech staff and friends on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
- Show off your mad bike-handling skills and take home the coveted trophy in our annual Slow Race or ADV Challenge competitions. The most fun might just be spectating the competition with friends.
- Park your bike and pitch a tent in the grassy camping area onsite, or reserve space in the RV lot, rent a nearby cabin with friends, or book a room in Leavenworth.
- Most people ride to the event, but there is no shame in hauling out the toys on a trailer, you’ll just have to park it in the RV lot. Well, perhaps there is a little shame.
- On-site food trucks and a restaurant across the street will feed you… and their food is delicious. You can also grab cold beverages, ice, and basic provisions at the grocery or hardware store located right there.
- You can gas up your motorcycle just a stone’s throw from the event. Plan to do it before 8 pm when they close so you are ready to ride the routes in the morning.
