Championships
The 2025 Territorial Cycling Championships were more than just a race series. They were a celebration of community, courage, and commitment to sport in the North. Across both road and mountain biking events, participants from across the territories showed up not just to compete, but to support each other, test their limits, and proudly represent their communities.
Road Cycling Series
Held throughout May and June in Yellowknife, the road races pushed athletes through varied terrain and shifting weather. From the time trial to the final criterium in the industrial area, every race built momentum and camaraderie. The final road race on June 28 saw Adam Clinton secure his double title as Territorial Champion in both the Open Male and U19 Male categories.
