Burnaby, BC — The 2024 SPEC MIX BRICKLAYER 500® British Columbia Regional Competition was held at White Cap, in Burnaby, BC on August 19th. 6 teams of brick masons and tenders vied for a competition spot in the 2024 SPEC MIX BRICKLAYER 500 World Championship Competition held in Las Vegas, Nevada. Widely referred to as the “Road to Las Vegas,” the SPEC MIX BRICKLAYER 500 Regional Series tests the speed, skill, and stamina of bricklayers across North America who have what it takes to compete in the World Championship. The Regional Series competitions are held to determine which mason can build the highest 26-foot-long brick wall, with the best craftsmanship, in only 60-minutes.

The stakes are high as only the 1st Place winner of each regional competition will advance to Las Vegas to lay it all on the line in the Championship finale. The action takes place at the World of Concrete show where well over 4,000 spectators gather to cheer for their favorite bricklayer. Not only is the level of intensity and energy high in the arena, but the battle is also extremely competitive. The contest’s total payday is valued at over $125,000, including a Kubota RTV X1130, Essick Pro12 Mix and a Chevy Silverado 4×4 truck—plus the title, “World’s Best Bricklayer!”
