Road Race
The bike course winds through Edmonton’s River Valley with some challenging uphill sections. The course sweeps through the greens paces of Edmonton along the North Saskatchewan River and up into the downtown core. The entire course is situated on closed roadways. Much of the course has been recently repaved and in excellent condition.
It is a lapped course with laps of approximately 10.7 km in length. The course loops back through the start/finish area on every lap. Athletes will climb steadily up out of the river valley and back down three times on every lap for approximately 110m of elevation gain per lap. The climbs average between 4-8% gradient and are 800m to 2km in length.
Criterium
The Criterium will take place in Old Strathcona along Whyte Avenue. This area has ample parking, dining, and viewing options for the 1.3km loop course. Junior athletes will compete in the afternoon with Elite riders championing a twilight criterium. Feel the buzz of the crowd along the city’s busiest streets to cheer on the best.
Everyone is welcome to Do North! Bring your horns, bells and whistles to cheer on these incredible athletes. Whether a weekend warrior looking for a PB, or a professional athlete hoping to hoist the cup – you won’t want to miss the action. We look forward to seeing you!
