The Range 2027

On July 10, 2027, cyclists converge on Claresholm Centennial Park and Campground for The Range, an epic gravel cycling experience through the breathtaking landscapes of southwestern Alberta. Participants can choose from four routes: Frontier (161 km with 2115 m of climbing), Classic Range (122 km with 1606 m of elevation gain), Rustler (86 km and 649 m of ascent), or Rodeo, a shorter loop ideal for newcomers at 59 km. Each route offers unique terrain including creek crossings, private ranch roads, steep ascents in the Porcupine Hills, and traverses through four distinct ecosystems. The Frontier course adds an out-and-back section to the Classic Range, pushing riders to their limits while rewarding them with stunning scenery.
The event features a mass start by category, with timing chips for overall rankings and sector challenges. Cyclists can enjoy the ride or compete fiercely, depending on their preference. E-bikes are permitted only on The Rodeo route. This is an experience that combines exploration, racing, and inspiration in one unforgettable day amidst Alberta's pristine environment.
