Glen Valley Road Race is widely considered one of the most scenic but deceptively difficult races in the Fraser Valley. While Wix Brown is a "crit-style" circuit and Murchie is a "rollercoaster," Glen Valley is a true "Spring Classic" with long, exposed stretches.

🚴 The Course: "The Wind & The Wall"
The 2026 race features a 15 km loop that is much longer than the previous two races.
The Flats: A large portion of the race runs along the Fraser River. These roads are pancake-flat but extremely exposed to wind. If the group splits here due to crosswinds, the race can be over in minutes.
The Forest & Rollers: The course moves away from the river into more sheltered, rolling terrain through the forest.
Snake Hill: In many variations of this race (like the "Monument" version), riders have to tackle "Snake Hill" (264th St), a grueling climb that often serves as the launchpad for the winning move.
