All Riders Welcome!

The Valley GranFondo was established as community centric cycling event with a focus on fundraising and growing the sport of cycling in BC. The event has continued to grow each year and we're excited to be back in Fort Langley again with an expanded charity program.

Riders have access to fully stocked aid stations, on-course medical and mechanical support, and a professionally managed course. After your ride, celebrate at the legendary post-ride festival at Eagle Acres Dairy Farm —featuring burgers and beverages, live music, games, SWAG, prizes, massages, and of course... farm animals!

Buckin' Hell

With almost 2500 meters / 8250 feet of climbing and descent through the rough and rugged North Shore Mountains of British Columbia, Buckin' Hell earns its name and reputation. The race starts and finishes at the Mount Seymour Resort, atop Mount Seymour, and runners begin by running straight up the mountain. After tagging a lower summit, runners will begin their 1200-meter descent down to the Seymour River far, far below. Along the way, competitors travel through remnants of old-growth forest, mixed in with modern-day bike trails, woodwork, and seemingly never-ending technical terrain underfoot. Don’t leave it all out there on the descent, as you still have to climb back on up the opposite side of the mountain to finish this thing off! Buckin' Hell is an absolute showcase of some of the best trails and vantage points that Vancouver's North Shore has to offer.

Start and finish in the scenic ski resort area of Mt Seymour Resort. Plan to stick around for our lively Beer Garden in partnership with Bridge Brewing. And don't forget — finish line pizza is included with your registration!

Distance options of a 35K course, a 50K ultra distance, and a 50K two-person relay. Featuring local favourite trails such as the Baden Powell, Mystery Lake, Neds, Severed, Brockton Lookout and the eponymous Old Buck trail, this is one of the most technically challenging 50km races you'll come across!In addition to the classic race-branded beer glass, every runner will also get a pair of these stylish red runners' gloves, also branded with the Buckin' Hell logo.

Registration closes at 600 participants.

$5 from every registration goes towards our adoption of Bridle Path Trail via the North Shore Mountain Bike Association. Additional donations welcome. As well, one tree will be planted locally for every registration, in partnership with a Fraser Valley Indigenous Lands rehabilitation project.

Our Kids Race is a ~1km run designed for ages 3-10 with special kids' bibs and finisher stickers. Registration is free and is available online or on race morning. During registration, we offer parents the opportunity to donate to Butterfly Network, a local organization that supports families dealing with pregnancy and infant loss.
