Canadian Open Enduro

Date: Sunday, July 30, 2023

Location: Read on…

Start: Base of Blackcomb Gondola

Stage 1: Blackcomb Mountain >> Hey Bud

A Blackcomb classic, this trail will challenge people to find the flow while going fast down this rough all-natural trail.

Stage 2: Blackcomb Mountain >> Crazy Train

One of the steepest, most technical trails in the Whistler valley, this stage might be a deciding factor in the outcome of this race. Lots to win and lots to lose on a track like Crazy Train.

Stage 3: Whistler Mountain Bike Park >> Top of the World, Miss Fire, Delayed Fuse

This will be by far the most physically demanding stage all day, with times likely to creep into the 20-minute range. This will arguably be one of the most long, gruelling stages enduro racers from all over the world will face all season.

Stage 4: Whistler Mountain Bike Park >> Odessa, Call me Maybe

These fresh trails to Creekside will be a great addition to the Crankworx Whistler Canadian Open Enduro. Nice and flowy yet technical, this stage will likely to be one of the favourites.

Stage 5: Whistler Mountain Bike Park >> No Joke, Duff Man, Mackenzie River, Duff Man, World Cup Single Track, Ho Chi Minh, Monkey Hands

Another long stage to finish the day! With a huge variety between flow and tech, this stage will challenge everybody, this home stretch stage gives some serious Garbanzo DH vibes.

Finish: Skiers Plaza, Whistler Village

Racers, good luck! Fans, see you out there! Stay tuned for more details to come on best spots for spectating at each stage.
