(Langford, B.C.): The City of Langford is excited to announce that registration is now open for the 2025 Canadian Cross Country Mountain Bike Championships, a national biking event presented by Kazlaw. The event will take place from July 17–20, 2025, at the Jordie Lunn Bike Park, 2990 Irwin Rd, Langford.

The Langford Bikefest also offers racing experiences for youth, amateurs, and weekend warriors through various non-championship “challenge” events.

“It’s important for us to put on an event that connects the dots between Olympians, youth, and recreational mountain bikers,” said race director, Jon Watkin. “We are inviting cycling enthusiasts of all ages and abilities to take part and get a ‘World Cup’ style experience.”
