RBC GranFondo Whistler, live.

From Stanley Park to Whistler on the Sea to Sky

RBC GranFondo Whistler is a road ride from Vancouver to Whistler along the Sea to Sky corridor, which the organiser calls North America's largest gran fondo.

The 2027 edition is on Saturday 11 September and registration is open. Riders on the long routes start in Stanley Park in Vancouver, cross the Lions Gate Bridge and follow the Sea to Sky highway along Howe Sound up to Whistler, on a dedicated lane closed to traffic for the day.

There are three categories. The Gran Fondo is 122 km with 2,300 m of climbing and four rest stops. The Forte is 146 km with 2,712 m, five rest stops and an extra climb up Mt. Callaghan, and it is limited to 600 riders. The Medio is 55 km with 835 m, starts in Whistler and heads south before climbing into the Callaghan Valley, with a rest stop at Whistler Olympic Park. E-bikes are allowed in the Medio.

The Medio is aimed at families and groups of mixed ability, while the Gran Fondo and the Forte suit riders with a full day of climbing in their legs. All categories come together for the last stretch into Whistler, and riders who finish earn the event medal, with age group results.

Spectators can watch the start in Stanley Park or wait in Whistler, where Celebration Plaza at Whistler Olympic Plaza hosts the finish festival with food, awards and live music. Package pickup takes place at the expo in Vancouver before ride day.

On Livebib you can follow a cyclist who chooses to share their own live position from the phone they carry. This is not the organiser's timing, and the official results come from the organiser.
