The 2025 Territorial Cycling Championships were a true celebration of sport in the North, and they would not have been possible without the generous support of Sport North and the Hosting Grant program.
Thanks to this funding, we were able to organize 8 sanctioned races across both road and mountain biking, bringing together more than 50 participants from across the Northwest Territories. These included not only racers, but also volunteers, families, and supporters who played key roles in timing, logistics, and course set-up. Every event featured meaningful moments, shared passion, and community energy, capped off with ceremonies to award our Territorial Champions and celebrate everyone involved.
Putting on events like this takes significant effort: from securing race licenses and managing equipment, to designing courses and mobilizing volunteers. But we love what we do, and that love turns effort into joy. We’re also thrilled to share that the Sport North funding will help us host our Territorial Fat Biking Championships this winter, another exciting opportunity to grow cycling in all seasons.
Sport North’s Hosting Grant provides up to $5,000 to support amateur championship events that build community pride and encourage local engagement. To learn more about how this grant supports sport in the NWT, visit: Sport North Development Grant
