Test your speed against the clock on two iconic routes of the National Capital Region. Register for one or both events: Manotick (May 31, 2026) + Wakefield (September 6, 2026)
Why register for the full series?
Register for both events at once and get the complete GCC Time Trial Series 2026 experience. You will get:
- Two start lines: Manotick + Wakefield: Experience two very different TT profiles; one flat and fast, one rolling and dynamic
- An opportunity to track your progress: Use your Manotick result as your early-season benchmark, then return in September to measure your improvement on a more technical course.
- The best overall value: One registration covers both events, includes all standard race-day benefits (photos, hydration, food, souvenirs, technical support, participation medal), and gives you the full-season experience.
Join us for exciting events in Manotick, Chelsea, and Wakefield, where cyclists of all levels can test their speed and endurance against the clock.
