Canadian Gravel Championships Heading to Alberta
Athletes from across the country are heading to Water Valley, AB, to take part in the Canadian Gravel Championships on June 16, 2024, hosted by Deadgoat Racing.
Junior, elite and masters categories will tackle the 118km course, for a total of 6800 feet of total elevation, overlooking Alberta’s awe-inspiring scenery.
“We are thrilled to head west for the second-ever hosting of the Canadian Gravel Championships, hosted in conjunction with the longstanding Ghost of the Gravel event.” said Josh Peacock, Director of Marketing and Events at Cycling Canada. “The course – nestled in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies – will set a challenging stage for the nation’s best as they seek the Canadian Champion title and coveted maple leaf jersey.”
The big names in cyclo-cross and mountain biking will meet in Water Valley, as Olympian and Canadian Marathon Mountain Bike (XCM) champion Haley Smith and fellow Canadian XCM champion Andrew Lesperance will line up behind the tape. Tyler Clark, Christiane Bilodeau, Ella Myers, Sidney McGill, Sean Fincham and Adam Roberge, all members of the National Team over the years will be on hand.
