Canadian Rockies 24 is back on July 26-27, 2025, and it's gearing up to be another thrilling weekend of mountain biking at the Canmore Nordic Centre. Riders will take on a 13.4 km loop with 369 m of elevation gain, pushing themselves over a full 24 hours.

There's a category for everyone, from solo riders to duos, four-person squads, and larger teams. With options for men's, women's, mixed, and corporate teams, plus both recreational and competitive divisions, it's open to all levels of mountain bikers.

Are you a rider looking for a team - or a team in search of one more rider? The Canadian Rockies 24 race forum is the place to connect. Available on the event website, the forum lets participants find teammates, ask questions, and share tips ahead of race day.

Camping is available at the venue, and with Canmore's great dining, shopping, and easy access to Banff and Lake Louise, there's plenty for racers and spectators alike to enjoy.
