Whistler
Whistler is world-famous for its wonderful outdoor activities and its vibrant pedestrian-centered village. We are planning a series of events that will show off many of Whistler's wonders, with races in the alpine on Whistler mountain, in the Village center, and in the surrounding forests. Three events are within walking distance of Whistler Village, and busses will be used for transport to the fourth event. We have planned great races, wonderful terrain, a lake-side social, and a mountain-top barbeque - and the events have been scheduled to provide lots of time for you to explore North America's favorite resort town.
Vancouver
In addition we have two races in the majestic beauty of the world's newest Olympic City - Vancouver, BC - which will show-off one of the most wonderful parks in the world - Stanley Park - and one of the world's most scenic university campuses - UBC.
