***Below is the description from the 2021 Event. It appears that Grinduro Canada will not take place this year. No other details were provided. This page will be updated to the extent Grinduro releases further details or a new date.
The following is a brief description from the Grinduro Canada Event promoter:
400 million years ago, like a big hunk of gravel racing to Earth from the confines of space, a meteorite hit the Canadian Shield and its Laurentian massif here in Charlevoix. It is this phenomenal shock that created the breathtaking landscapes and rugged terrain that make the Charlevoix region famous, and a place that delights (or tortures) cyclists.
It is thus no surprise that we chose Saint-Urbain-de-Charlevoix, to host such a wild event as Grinduro Canada. But what exactly is a Grinduro? It’s a combo of a gravel grinder road race and an enduro: one long loop on all kinds of terrain, where finishing times aren’t based on overall loop time, but four timed segments.
The Event promoter hosts other Grinduro event locations, including in California. Check out the details on the California event on The Hub or the Grinduro website for the events on the other side of the pond.
