The race venue is the Copperbelt Mining Museum on the Alaska Highway, about 5 km from downtown Whitehorse. Here's a map and directions.
On race day there is plenty of tent space on site, both quiet and noisy, as well as RV parking.
Before and after the race, or if you simply prefer the comforts of a bed, there are many hotels, B&Bs and camping options nearby. Visit travelyukon.com for more details.
We live in the land of the midnight sun! You don't need lights, even in the darkest part of the night.
We've seen it all, from snowing to +30 C, and some years in the same 24 hours. Be prepared for everything.
Yes. We provide some food but you should bring enough food and water for 24 hours.
Please, NO DOGS. Not at the race, campsites or parking lot.
We encourage staying up all night! If you do need to grab some sleep there is plenty of tent space, both quiet and noisy, as well as RV parking.
Our course varies from year to year, but one lap is normally between 12–15 km. Most riders complete a lap in 45-60 minutes.
It always includes a mix of flowy singletrack and wider ski trails to make passing easier, especially on the climbs. It is a blast for beginners and experts alike!
Sorry, no. We don't finalize the course until shortly before the race.
Registration for 24 Hours of Light.
Race cost is $90 per rider. CMBC members will receive $25 off their entries. This will be paid in cash to the members on the bib pick-up date.
All registration is online. This saves needless paperwork and keeps our event green.
You can change team members at the captains meeting on Friday. There will be a $10 charge per change.
If you're a solo rider looking for a team, or a team who needs an extra rider, try asking on the Contagious Mountain Bike Club facebook group.
We love volunteers! If you want to help, we can promise you a really fun time and some nice swag too!
On race day we normally need help with timing, course marking, logistics, set up and take down and FUN! Before the race there is a lot of planning and organizing, collecting prizes, preparing race packages, trail work... If you have a special talent, skill or interest we can accomodate that as well!
