Official event pageWhat this race demands
RBC GranFondo Whistler demands sustained climbing capacity and pacing discipline over a 122 km point-to-point course with 2300 m of elevation gain.
Climbing Volume
Accumulating 2300 meters of elevation gain across the Sea-to-Sky corridor requires continuous uphill output and efficient gear management on extended ascents.
Long-Distance Durability
A 122 km distance on a point-to-point route places high demands on aerobic endurance and sustained nutritional intake over several hours.
Target 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to sustain energy output across an expected duration exceeding three hours.
