The unofficial road world hill climbing champs!
Presented by REALTOR BRANDON CRICHTON, the Seymour Challenge is back! Brandon has been a huge supporter of youth cycling development over the years. Climb up Seymour with other cycling enthusiasts to raise money for our youth programming.
The Mount Seymour climb is 13.1 km long. You gain 904 height meters, so the average gradient is 6.9 %. The climb is ranked 2179 in the world. The maximum slope is 16%. We climb up from the road starting at the intersection near the Old Buck Parking Lot. We will align the race with the Strava segment. There will also fun fun recovery zone up top with our friends from THE WORKSHOP PERFORMANCE CLINIC.
The race officially begins at 10AM. Read all the details in the TECHNICAL GUIDE. Everyone is welcome. Escape Velocity fosters a culture of Equity, Diversity & Inclusion. If you have any questions please email ev-ed@escapevelocity.bc.ca
