Host of the 2025 World Championships!

Set in the host City of Penticton in the Okanagan Valley in Western Canada, British Columbia has a diverse playground of uniquely beautiful and geologically formidable terrain. Athletes can expect to visit rugged high alpine peaks, mountain lakes and rivers, deep valleys and world class single track and rock formations. From the desert to snowy peaks, sometimes on the same day, the seemingly never-ending forests, waterways, high country meadows and trail networks are but a few of the highlights of the area.

New to the Sport? What is Expedition Canada...

Expedition Canada is a multi-day adventure race involving trekking, trail running, mountain biking, rafting and canoeing, orienteering, and rappelling or canyoning. Mixed, Male, Female, Young and Masters teams of 4 must navigate their way, unsupported through arduous course hundred of kilometers long that is only revealed to them hours before. This is an exciting but challenging race. We guarantee a race to remember.

We are so proud of the races that the team at Hoodoo Adventures has worked so hard to create over the past 4 years. The events have had so much positive feedback and we can't be more excited for the future.

— Lyndie Hill, CEO and Co-Race Director

Event Overview:

Expedition Canada has run 3 expedition races to date and each year a new and exciting course has been developed by our race director and the team at Hoodoo Adventures. In 2025 we have an amazing new organizing team who will be designing an unbeatable course for the ARWS World Championships.

The course outline and logistics are released approximately three weeks before the race and maps and more details about each leg are delivered a couple hours before race start in a lock down room.

The course will be open for a maximum of 9 days with the goal of giving everyone a chance to finish.

There will be no mandatory stops and no optional controls.

As always, teams will be carrying tracking devices so friends and family can follow each team live in real-time. Media will post daily pictures and video highlights on our social channels as well as other media partners giving hourly race summaries.
