Every week from now until the 'Fondo, we're teaming up with our partners to give away some awesome draw prizes.
Want to be in with a chance to win? All you have to do is be signed up before midnight Sunday each week! The earlier you're signed up, the more you could win.
First up...
Blonyx is a sports nutrition brand for people with athletic ambition, providing products rooted in science and real food ingredients that have a perceptible impact on your performance, recovery, and athletic longevity.
Blonyx is giving one lucky winner a $200 gift card to help you build a sports nutrition stack that supports your training and race-day performance.
The gift card counts toward any Blonyx or Beet It sports nutrition product from their lineup, including Hydra+, their real food electrolyte mix that will be available at all on-course aid stations on race day.
Plus, anyone can save 10% on the entire lineup of Blonyx and Beet It sports nutrition products with code RBCGRANFONDO at checkout.
Make sure you're signed up by this Sunday - if you are, you're in the draw!
We've got awesome giveaways coming every week until the 'Fondo from the likes of Dilawri, Helijet, KITS, Turkish Airlines, ABUS, and more - so you know they'll be top tier offerings!
Speaking of Dilawri, as Canada's Largest Auto Group and proud Automotive partner of the RBC GranFondo Whistler, you'll see their vehicles out on course supporting you with everything from sweep duties, safety cars and the lead pace car itself.
Plus, rumour has it they'll be providing Alta Classe riders with an extra special treat (keep your eyes peeled)...
How would you like to snag yourself a new state-of-the-art lid from ABUS?
They're giving away two Powerdome helmets worth $280 each! So, how can you win one?
Simply make sure you're signed up by the week 2 deadline: Sunday July 20th at 23:59 PT.
Keep your eyes on our website, socials and newsletter for more weekly prize reveals!
Michaela Khan is the Fondo Guide that you always wanted.
This summer, she'll be answering your questions about how to prepare, what to know and much much more. To begin with, she'll take you through all 3 distance categories of the event and what to expect on each.
Follow along on Instagram or Tik Tok, leaving a comment if you want your question answered!
Alternatively: email us your question! All goes.
The course is changing for 2025.
Horseshoe Bay (previously Rest Stop 1) is changing to an Essential Services only stop.
Essential Services = Toilets, Mechanical, Medical
You won't be less supported. You'll be given Blonyx Hydra+ electrolytes, Hornby energy bar calories, a water bottle and more at the same time as your swag bag at package pickup to get you safely and smoothly to Britannia Beach (the new Rest Stop 1) - where the party will be waiting!
It's chaos. It's a bit of a mess. It's all the things your mother wouldn't want you doing: it's XFondo Whistler.
Registration is opening bright and early NEXT WEEK on Wednesday July 15 2025 for 2026's June event (Saturday 13th, with pre-events the day before).
Do your future self a favour and save the date, for there is mischief to be made - and squirrels to be chased.
SWAG: "Snacks Waiting At Grandma’s", "Super Weird Alien Goo", "Socks With Amazing Grip"...
As it turns out, none of these are correct (bonus points if you know what SWAG actually stands for). But no matter, what's important is getting the goods when you pick up your package at VeloSpoke Expo on Sept 5.
Rolling in with a stylish shoulder bag for your cycling gear thanks to Clique Hotels, you'll also be adorned with a delicious assortment of customed roasted Forecast Coffee beans and Hornby Organic energy bar, plus Nuvo magnesium recovery spray and the return of the super popular (and large!) Britiannia Village water bottle.
Saddle. Wheels. Adventure. Get-it!
Did you know? Register for Virtual (ride from anywhere) and you'll be mailed your physical swag and medal!
This one speaks for itself. There's nothing like a big round milestone number to focus the senses and direct attention towards the final goal: your glorious ascent of the Sea to Sky on September 6.
Buckle up: your year is about to become iconic.

The visual presentation exists to communicate, not decorate. Momentum becomes a quiet source of challenge. https://slice-master.co
Octordle https://octordlegame.io is an online word puzzle game similar to Wordle, but with a much higher difficulty. In octordle, players not only have to guess one word, but also have to solve eight different words simultaneously on the same screen, with a total limit of 13 guesses. This creates a great challenge and requires players to have good strategies, quick reasoning skills and a rich vocabulary.
In a world of hyper-realistic 3D games, the Dinosaur Game stands out by being intentionally simple — and that’s exactly why people love it. https://dinosaur-game.io
An electrolyte mix made from real food that will help you stay hydrated during runs and workouts. On race day, this product will be available at all aid stops along the course, so you can stay fueled and energetic. https://driving-directions.io/
I love the playful take on what "SWAG" could stand for—definitely keeps things fun and lighthearted. The shoulder bag for cycling gear is a great touch, and who wouldn’t love a mix of custom roasted coffee, energy bars, and a recovery spray to keep you going? Plus, the return of the popular Britiannia Village water bottle is always a win. https://googlebaseball.io

Amazing giveaways for this summer https://iogames.onl/
Hi Michaela! I’ve noticed Hydra+ will be at the aid stations, but how does it compare to other electrolyte options in terms of real impact during endurance events? Also, will there be any opportunities on-course to get support with mechanical issues or nutrition refills outside the main aid stations? https://retrobowl.college/online
