ALL WHEELS PUMP TRACKS
The Kamloops All Wheels Pump Track Facility was completed in July, 2024 and this project developed three new pump tracks within the Kamloops Bike Ranch . The project is led by the Kamloops Sports Council in partnership with the Kamloops Performance Cycling Centre (KPCC) and Tourism Kamloops. The project is primarily funded by the Province of B.C.’s Destination Development Fund with financial contributions from the Kamloops Performance Cycling Centre (KPCC) and Tourism Kamloops. The City of Kamloops and several local businesses and community groups supported the project. The KPCC was integral in funding the project and is the maintainer and manager of the tracks.

What is a pump track?
A pump track is a continuous loop of ‘berms’(banked corners), rollers (humps), and jumps, where riders use an up and down ‘pumping’ motion to propel themselves forward around the track instead of pedalling or pushing. Pump tracks are often used to build skills in a lower risk, more progressive environment, there are also competitive events for this discipline. Pump tracks are gaining popularity due to their low maintenance, consistency and of course, fun!
