Squad Enduro Squamish: a new three-rider team race in 2027
In short: Squad Enduro Squamish is the new team format of the Squamish Enduro race, announced by the organiser in November 2026. Each team has three riders and the result combines the times of all three. It is held on Saturday 1 May 2027, one day before the individual race on Sunday 2 May, and there will also be an e-bike version.
What is Squad Enduro Squamish?
Squad Enduro Squamish is a team enduro event added to the regular Squamish race in British Columbia (Canada). The organiser sums it up in one line: "three riders, combined times, one shared destination". The idea is that the result does not depend on a single rider: a stumble or a puncture for one affects the whole team.
The race grows from one day to two. Saturday 1 May 2027 will be for teams and the individual race returns on Sunday 2 May, with the full course and the short course, according to the organiser.
How does the team format of three work?
According to the published information, a team has three riders and its final time is the sum of the times of its three members. The organiser has not yet detailed how the stages are scored or what happens if a team member drops out. It has not given a specific venue, entry fee or team composition rules either.
Squad E-Enduro: the e-bike version
Alongside the event on conventional bikes, the organiser announces an e-bike version called Squad E-Enduro. This matters because team e-enduro races are still uncommon. The conventional event has a local Squamish brand, 7mesh, as its main sponsor.
