The action-packed spectacle commences with an invigorating prologue at downtown Calgary’s Olympic Plaza, where 126 riders will vie for the fastest lap on a custom-built street track.
Day two sees 302 riders transition to the iconic Canadian Badlands for the main event, navigating intricate terrains and racing from checkpoint to checkpoint, each presenting its own unique challenges.
