When it comes to the challenge of RBC GranFondo Whistler, the 152km truly Forte raises the bar.
Leaving Stanley Park just before daybreak, Forte riders tackle an additional epic 876m Category 1 climb up North Shore’s Cypress Bowl Road to the Cypress Mountain ski area before a thrilling sunrise-soaked descent joins them back up with the Gran Fondo riders all the way to Whistler.
Ahead, the turquoise expanse of Howe Sound will frame one awesome journey up the Sea-to-Sky corridor, encompassing breathtaking cycling through the Tantalus and Garibaldi mountain ranges and a serious sea of admiring faces at the finish.

Start: Stanley Park, Vancouver
Finish: Whistler Village, Whistler
Elevation: 2300m / 7500 ft

It’s a ride like no other. From leafy Stanley Park, Vancouver, riders cross the iconic Lions Gate bridge to travel along the world-famous, beautiful Sea-to-Sky highway as it dips itself in the Pacific ocean before rising slowly up to the lofty perch of Whistler.
First with emerging Sunshine Coast view and then framed either side by jaw-dropping mountains, the scale is as epic as the challenge itself, taking in 1900m of total elevation by the time you smile your way across the finish line.
We fully support you the whole way with plentiful rest stops and rolling mechanics, before coming together to celebrate your achievements with one huge party in Whistler.

Including 55km and 800m of elevation to enjoy, there’s a well-stocked rest-stop up at the Whistler Olympic Park to collect your friends at before the sweeping smooth downhill rejoins you with the main Gran Fondo field for a grand procession back up to the cheering crowds at the finish line in Whistler.

What is the cancellation/refund policy for this event?

You can request to transfer your entry for the following year's event for a fee of $100 if the request is made before the close of online registration.
Can I send a bag to meet me at the finish line?
Yes, we will transport one bag for all registered riders to the finish line, approximately the same size as a personal item on airlines. Please pack all of your belongings in a bag and drop it off at VeloSpoke on Friday. Please note that due to the traffic delays on the Sea to Sky Highway to Whistler on event morning, there will be no bag drop at the start line except for Alta Classe riders.
What kind of bike can I use?
We recommend a well-maintained road bike for this journey. One that has been looked over by a bike mechanic recently and that you are comfortable with riding. Make sure that your gearing is suitable for riding the hills. Some riders may be tempted to ride their mountain bike on this journey. It can be done, but it’s a harder challenge. The use of aerobars and riding in the aero-position is not allowed for the RBC GranFondo Whistler due to potential safety issues.
