2007 Cheakamus Challenge Fall Classic Mountain Bike Race
Produced by Endorphin Recreation Ltd.
Come and Enjoy the Best Point A- B Marathon on Earth!

This years Cheakamus Challenge features the finest course on the planet for 2007 that will make you realize why this race is the “King of the Classics”.

They will also be offering the Pique Cheakamus Lite which features the last 40 km of the full course which begins at noon at the Cal Cheak exit by the Whistler Bungee Bridge. This course features many of the tough sections of the course and is a great alternative for those looking for a solid 2-3 hour race.

Starting, as usual at 10 a.m, Saturday, September 22rd at the Squamish Airport is the full pull which features over 70km. of riding over the full spectrum of terrain that will blow you away.

With over 2000m of climbing and 40 km. of single- track trails this course has it all with the Cheakamus River running beside or below you for most of the duration.

This race is the classic point to point format with big climbs, stunning views, high speed rolling terrain and of course the classic Sea to Sky single-track.

For 07 the Pique Newsmagazine Cheakamus Light, features a 40km. course that begins at Cal-Cheak Campsite at noon. This allows beginners and juniors the opportunity to get their legs under them if they are just starting out racing. You have to register under the special category on www.karelo.com under the short course heading on the category drop down. The Cheakamus Light also features most of the major challenges of the day but allows you to do it with about 30 km. less in your legs. Then next year you can do the full course and use the experience gained to your advantage.

This years finish will be in Whistler Creek-side at Dusty’s. With live music, great BBQ dinners for racers and their friends along with some visual treats from the day of challenges.
