The Canadian Downhill Championships, part of the Dunbar Summer Series, brings national-level downhill mountain bike racing to Sun Peaks, British Columbia, midsummer. This event holds UCI CN status, elevating it beyond a typical weekend race and marking it as a formal Canadian title contest, not merely a bike-park round.
The race also integrates into the BC Cup Series, sanctioned by Cycling BC, connecting the national championship with British Columbia’s regular downhill schedule. Sun Peaks Resort and SE Racing are the organizers. This aligns with the venue, as riders compete on gravity-focused mountain bike terrain at a lift-served resort, with both provincial-series participants and championship hopefuls present during the same event weekend.
