Crankworx World Tour 2026: Dates Confirmed for Whistler, SilverStar, and New Grand Final in Mont-Sainte-Anne 

The Crankworx World Tour is officially gearing up for another season of gravity-fuelled action, tight competition, and the ultimate celebration of mountain biking culture in 2026. With festival dates now locked in for Whistler, SilverStar, and the newly announced Mont-Sainte-Anne in Québec, the calendar is taking shape, promising another year of unforgettable moments for athletes and fans alike. 

Kicking Off in Aotearoa

The season begins in New Zealand with not one but two back-to-back festivals: 

These southern hemisphere stops set the stage for an epic year of racing, riding, and progression. 

Whistler Shifts to July

After celebrating its landmark 20th edition in 2025, Crankworx Whistler returns July 24-August 2, 2026. The festival shifts slightly earlier in the summer, giving athletes more opportunities to compete. Expect another 10 days of iconic competition, big moments, and the unique energy that only Whistler can deliver.

SilverStar: A Crankworx Classic

From Whistler, Crankworx continues its Canadian journey with another long-standing destination: SilverStar in Vernon, BC, from August 6-9, 2026. Immediately following Whistler, the SilverStar festival will once again bring world-class racing and multi-discipline competition to the Interior of British Columbia, celebrating the vibrant bike culture that thrives there.

A Historic First for Québec

The final confirmed stop of the year is also one of the most exciting additions yet: Mont-Sainte-Anne, September 3-7, 2026. 

While MSA has previously hosted the Dual Slalom events of the 2022 Crankworx Summer Series Québec, 2026 marks its first time as a major festival. This not only marks the return of Crankworx to la Belle Province, but also Mont-Sainte-Anne stepping in as the grand final of the season. Expect a massive celebration to cap off the year in one of Canada’s most storied mountain bike destinations. Follow @crankworxmsa to stay in the loop.

As always, each of the confirmed festivals will be about more than just podiums – it’s about growth and progression, as well as competing for valuable points in the battle for the coveted King & Queen of Crankworx titles.
