About the event
The Hillman is for those who just love riding their bikes but also want to push themselves to the edge to see what they’re made of.
The Hillman is an Open Enduro race, welcoming riders of all genders to take on the challenge and the fun. It takes place on the same weekend as the WORCA Women’s Enduro, The Witsend, making it a twin event celebration of enduro racing.
With the two options of Short and Long Course, the Short Course will be appropriate for intermediate riders, while the Long Course will include trails more suitable for strong intermediate to advanced riders. (i.e., entry-level riders should review the course and determine if it is suited to their skill set).
Rally your buds, prep your gear, and join us for an unforgettable day on the trails!

The Story Behind the Name
The Hillman - a name that fits every man pedalling his way up Whistler’s trail network, earning the thrill of the descent. But it's more than that. It’s also a legacy: a real individual, and the name of a historic structure in Whistler. The Hillman was a man who defied easy categorization, much like the trails themselves. And the building? It was the original Toad Hall, a cornerstone of local lore. Read more about The Hillman.
