XFONDO Whistler

Name: XFONDO Whistler
Start: 2026-06-13
End: 2026-06-13
Location: Whistler, BC

From the creators of RBC GranFondo Whistler, XFONDO is an all roads bike race featuring road, gravel, trail and dirt. Be challenged by winding gravel switchbacks to flowing descents, framed by unreal mountain scenery and a ton of mud just waiting to be sprayed! Participating in XFONDO guarantees two things – your adrenaline will be pumping and you’ll have a hard time peeling the smile off your face back at base camp.

XFONDO Whistler will no longer take place on June 13 as originally scheduled. Due to logistical constraints and scheduling conflicts with other major sporting events such as FIFA and Canadian Gravel Nationals, organizers have made the decision to pause the event for the 2026 season. We look forward to welcoming XFONDO back to Whistler in June 2027.

Plan Your Ride

The Course

For the XFONDO Whistler pilot event, riders can choose from three distances. Envisage being in the saddle for 2.5 to 5 hours, depending on your choice. You will start and finish at Spruce Grove Park, and can expect a flurry of steep punches and tight switchbacks. It's a visceral experience spent with your new event buddies that will be a challenge for all of your skills.
