Event Information
The Seymour Challenge is Escape Velocity Cycling Club’s main fundraiser for the DEVO Youth Cycling program. This race is a hill climb that starts at the base of Mt. Seymour Road and climbs all the way to the top! This is a ‘celebration of cycling’ suitable for all ages and abilities!
Presented by REALTOR BRANDON CRICHTON, the Seymour Challenge is back! Brandon has been a huge supporter of youth cycling development over the years.
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.
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
