2026 Flèche – Cobourg, Ontario

While we are still finalizing the specific landing spot within the town, we wanted to share the location now so you can begin the best part of the season: planning your teams and scouting your routes.

The official target arrival time for all teams is Saturday, May 16th at 18:00. We strongly encourage teams to aim for this arrival window to maximize the social aspect of the event and enjoy the finish together. However, we understand that flexibility is key; therefore, we will accommodate arrivals up to Sunday, May 17th at 10:00. Note: Your start time for either the Flèche (24 hours) or the Trace is defined by your team's declared arrival time.

As in previous years, we will be running both the Flèche and the Trace concurrently. Whether you are looking for the full 24-hour team challenge or the shorter format of the Trace, we can’t wait to see the club converge on the shores of Lake Ontario.

To help everyone prepare, we have two key sessions coming up:

March (Date TBD): Online Info Session. New to the Flèche or Trace? We’ll cover how the events work, the specific rules for team riding, and what to expect.

April (Date TBD): Captains & Route Building Meeting. A technical session for team leads to discuss route requirements, safety, and logistics.
