The event has now ended
- Tue 1st - Tue 15th Sep 2020
Sign up for this virtual '12 Day Challenge' event from the makers of RBC GranFondo Whistler and not only will you get a goal and finishers' memento, you'll also directly support families and those in need with 100% of entry proceeds being donated to Food Bank Canada – plus choose other causes near you to voluntarily donate to!
You've got 12 days to complete either a 55km, 122km or 152km challenge, and you can add to your total cumulatively or simply make it a long day in the saddle, wherever you are in the world. It's also a great opportunity to get your kids involved: can they be inspired and ride any of these distances over 12 days with your help?
Then, share your photos and show everyone how epic you are!
