Registration now open for GranFondo Whistler: Riviera Nayarit
Save the date, we're going to Mexico!
On April 5, 2025 you'll get the Sand to Sun experience in the stunning west coast Mexican destination resort of Rivieria Nayarit, just 5 minutes from Puerto Vallarta!
With a 100km Gran Fondo taking place on the Saturday, you'll want to travel down a week before and soak up all that this incredible destination has to offer.
We're dreaming of sun drenched pool parties, mixing it with awesome brands, tropical cocktails, smokin' fiestas, music on the beach and much more. The cycling is just an excuse!
From the team behind RBC GranFondo Whistler, you'll enjoy riding through protected parklands, be surrounded by incredible tourism adventures from skydiving to diving and boating, soak up authentic colourful culture and be at the heart of the signature party atmosphere you've come to expect in Whistler.
Riviera Nayarit is a stone's throw from the international travel hub of Puerto Vallarta airport, and you'll find convenient options for accommodation, bike / car rental, and much much more. Plus, there's a huge range of downtime options when you want to relax.
Whether its sipping on a margarita, bronzing yourself in the sun's golden glow, exploring this magical part of the world or simply challenging your riding prowess, Riviera Nayarit has it all. And we're beyond excited to host you this coming April!

From talking about the ride itself to tips on how to make the most of your weekend in this stunning part of the world, we'll leave it to the journalists to guide you through it.
Did you catch the medal reveal?
The Northern Lights danced above Vancouver and Whistler last month, and now the aurora is back as showcased on the official medals for RBC GranFondo Whistler 2024.
Few other medals in the world can match the Forte medal for weight, coming at close to a pound to recognize the incredible achievement of completing the 152km category. Want one yourself? Better be quick, it's nearly sold out!
For Medio and Gran Fondo distance riders, your medal is just as much as a head turner. To conquer the Sea to Sky once or multiple times is a crowning achievement that few can claim to know. Can you complete the challenge in 2024?
We acknowledge the land on which we work and ride is the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
