BRRRRRP. That's the sound of your 1 month-to-go klaxon.
It's time to hose down your bikes, lace up them shoes and hit the dusty stuff. Things are about to get real.
Due to record demand, we've just released some more places for every category. Don't dawdle, they'll go quick!
We're stoked to welcome Rivian to the XFondo family as official automotive sponsor.
Whether it's taking families on new adventures or helping fleets electrify at scale, Rivian's electric adventure vehicles all share a common goal — protecting our planet and the cultures that inhabit it for generations to come.
As well as providing the official course vehicles supporting riders at XFondo Whistler 2024, Rivian will also be offering you the chance to demo drive their vehicles in Whistler before and after the event, plus the ability to win a prize pack worth 250 CAD!
Pre-race demo drive details
When: Fri June 14
Time: 3-7PM PT

First come first served!

Rivian's first international location opened summer 2023 in Vancouver, British Columbia.
The Vancouver space provides a comprehensive look at Rivian vehicles — visitors can touch and explore R1T and R1S, and sign up for demo drives. Color and material samples are on display to show the wide range of customization options, and once selected, any configuration of Rivian's vehicles can be visualized on demand through the augmented reality (AR) experience.
“We want to go off-roading, do some drives, go to the beach, have dinners and meetups, organize community and environmental events — there’s so much we can do as a community.”
Jamie McCrindle, Founder of the Left Coast Rivian Club
