Presented by Kokanee and hosted by the Whistler Mountain Bike Park in partnership with WORCA, Phat Wednesdays are one of Whistler’s favourite local race series. Fast laps, fun courses, great prizes, and a classic GLC après make this midweek downhill series a must for riders looking to test their skills in the Bike Park.

Whether you’re chasing the podium or just out for a fun evening with the local bike community, Phat Wednesdays bring together speed, skill, and après in true Whistler style.

Each week, a new course is announced before the race, keeping things fresh and challenging. Past courses have included iconic Whistler Bike Park trails like B-Line, A-Line, and other local favourites.
