April 9, 2026 - This spring and summer, the Pomeroy Kananaskis Mountain Lodge will come alive with a dynamic lineup of races, outdoor adventures and wellness-focused experiences, reinforcing its reputation as one of Alberta’s top destinations for active living in the Canadian Rockies.

Cycling enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels are invited to The Divide Gravel Event, a premier cycling event taking place June 5 – 7, 2026 at the Pomeroy Kananaskis Mountain Lodge. Hosted by retired professional road racer and 2025 Unbound champion, Rob Britton, the three-day event blends challenge, community and connection in a truly immersive mountain setting.

Riders can choose from shorter gravel loops (55 km) to full-day rides (85 km or 110 km), each route showcasing the rugged beauty of Kananaskis while offering participants the opportunity to ride alongside seasoned pros. Along the way, participants will gain insights and coaching from veteran riders, drawn from their years of elite racing and backcountry exploration.

Off the trails, the experience will continue at The Lodge with curated programming designed to support both performance and recovery. Guests and pros can mingle through fireside chats, wellness and recovery experiences and interactive workshops led by industry leaders shaping the future of gravel riding.

While the races will draw passionate athletes, The Divide Gravel Event is designed to be just as rewarding for friends and family accompanying the athletes, through activities like guided hikes, restorative spa treatments and elevated dining experiences. Whether cheering from the sidelines or unwinding in the mountains, there are countless ways to be part of the weekend beyond The Divide itself.

For those looking for a different type of adventure, on June 20, 2026, the Kananaskis 100 Mile Relay will celebrate its 40th anniversary. The iconic team event will begin in Longview and wind its way through breathtaking foothills and mountain landscapes before finishing at the Pomeroy Kananaskis Mountain Lodge. Later in the season, endurance sport organizer Rnest Endurance will launch a brand-new race series, simply titled Canadian Rocky Mountains, in the Kananaskis Valley. The series will offer participants a fresh way to experience the region’s natural terrain, with courses beginning and ending at The Lodge. Additionally, Explore Kananaskis will also present its first half marathon and 10K race.

Beyond organized events, visitors to the region can embrace adventure at their own pace and on their own schedule. Just steps away from the doors of The Lodge, Kananaskis Outfitters offers adventure rentals and guided mountain bike tours through the valley, making it easy for both beginners and experienced riders to explore the area’s expansive trail network. After a day of adventure on two wheels or trail running on Strava routes, hotel guests can relax at the luxury Black Diamond Club or unwind with hydrotherapy at the renowned Kananaskis Nordic Spa.

“With the growing interest in active travel and wellness-focused experiences, Kananaskis offers a truly unique setting where guests can challenge themselves outdoors and then recover and reconnect in comfort,” said Liz Hovey-Smith, General Manager, Pomeroy Kananaskis Mountain Lodge. “From world-class events to everyday adventure, we’re proud to be a hub for experiences that support both physical and mental well-being.”
