Event Weekend Info
Location:
Our host venue is once again the Strathmore Stampede Grounds where you can find the start and finish line, self-camping and all the fun festivities.
Route:
Each day, you will have the choice of route distances: a short route (approximately 70 KM), a long route (approximately 100 KM), and on Saturday only, an extended challenge route (approximately 160 KM) for advanced cyclists. Routes will change each day, allowing you to explore more.
NOTE – all distances are approximate and subject to change.
Bike drop-off:
Bike drop-off is available on Friday afternoon starting at 1pm. Secured bike storage will be available for Friday and Saturday night.
REMINDER – you will need to attach your bike plates before you drop your bike off. Bike plates are found in your packets which are available for pick-up at the Calgary office (see below for details).
Camping:
Self-camping is available on-site at the Strathmore Stampede Grounds, so bring your tent or trailer! Camping is available on both July 18th and 19th with shower and washroom facilities available, but there are no hook-ups or dumping stations.
If you are using a trailer, it must be registered via the Online Check-In process.
NEW this year, we will be holding a campground celebration on Friday July 17th for registered riders camping with us. Look for a food truck, campfire s’mores, music and lawn games from 5pm-8pm.
Food vouchers for registered riders camping on Friday evening will be available for pick-up at the re-reg tent from 1pm-7pm. Food is available for purchase from non-registered guests.
NOTE – if you are camping at the Strathmore Campground (separate from the North 40 event camp site), you do not need to register your tent, trailer or RV in advance.
Festivities:
Our beloved Saturday Evening Festival will be at the Strathmore Stampede Grounds with great food, drinks, and entertainment. We also have our celebratory BBQ Sunday afternoon at the finish line.
We look forward to providing an elevated experience for riders with improved meal offerings, new and returning musical guests and exciting entertainment elements.
