“We are thrilled to return with the second edition of our Canadian esports Championships,” Josh Peacock, director of marketing and events at Cycling Canada, said. “Working alongside both USA Cycling and Echelon Racing Promotions has given us the ability to amplify this event to a whole new level, all while offering Canadian champion titles across a variety of age classes.”

Titles will be given in 24 categories, from juniors to masters, with the recent addition of para-cycling categories. All athletes will be racing on the Dirty Reiver course, with over 18 kilometers of steady climbs, a long descent, a twisting flat section, and an uphill sprint for the line.”

“Thanks to the ongoing work of Wahoo RGT and Echelon Racing Promotions, we have the opportunity to host a full range of para-cycling categories for the first time at this event,” Peacock added. “We look forward to continuing to support their efforts in enhancing representation of all athletes with disabilities in the future.”
