From the trails of Yellowknife to the community streets of Inuvik, Cycling NWT is proud to celebrate the passionate individuals who lead, guide, and inspire us every ride. During National Coaches Week (September 15–21, 2025), we invite all Northerners to join us in saying #ThanksCoach to the dedicated coaches who make cycling fun, inclusive, and accessible for all.
Coaches across the Northwest Territories are helping build confidence in new riders, encouraging competition for aspiring athletes, and creating safe, welcoming spaces for everyone to move their bodies and connect through sport. Whether it’s road, mountain, gravel, or casual community riding, coaching makes a difference.
