📍 Bromont, QC — Sept 19–21
🎉 Presented by XACT Nutrition – Official Nutrition Partner
Three days. One legendary venue. A few hundred riders. And a whole lot of fruit bars and style points.
The 2025 Canadian Enduro Mountain Bike Championships weren’t just a race — they were a full weekend of effort, chaos, airtime, and connection. And from the taped stages to the Shark Fin and beyond, XACT Nutrition showed up loud.
This was our first time supporting a national-level MTB championship — a UCI-sanctioned event — and we did it the only way we know how: bold, fun, and full of energy.
Friday: Prep Day & First Look at the Booster Zone
Friday wasn’t about fanfare — it was about groundwork.
Before the riders arrived in full force, our crew was already out on the mountain at Bromont, taping the Queen Stage and scoping the course for what would become the now-infamous Booster Zone — a high-risk, high-reward corner that would later steal the show.
Between stage prep, athlete check-in, and our QR code contest setup, the weekend buzz was already building. We even caught a few early practice laps and knew right away: this course was going to deliver.
Saturday: Queen Stage, Shark Fin, and Steeze Caught in High Res
Saturday brought the big one: the Queen Stage, complete with our now-signature side quest — the Shark Fin Jump Contest.
🦈 Shark Fin Feature
This is where riders took flight — launching over the fin in full view of the cameras, fruit bars, and whatever style points they had left in the tank.
Framing it all? Our purple Mixed Berries and Apricot Peach Endurance Bars, oversized and absurdly magnificent, photobombing nearly every shot like royal mascots of the send.
This is where we captured some of the best visuals of the weekend — riders mid-whip, bars mid-frame, dirt mid-air. A spectacle of steeze and snackable branding.
👑 Shark Fin Royalty:
- Keely Bathurst (Junior Women)
- Elly Hoskin (Elite Women)

Big ups to Ludovic — easily the most stylish XACT athlete on two wheels.
🎉 Prize Draw Winner: Charlie Parsons
Out of hundreds of QR scans and contest entries, Charlie Parsons walks away with the big prize — a Wildside event registration, XACT Nutrition merch, and a $200 gift card to keep the stoke rolling.
Charlie, we’ll see you at the next start line — and yes, it’ll taste even better.
Sunday: Championship Day + The Feed Station of Legends
This was it — jerseys on the line, nerves high, legs burning. And somewhere out on course… fruits bars for everybody!
Our P7 Feed Station delivered the goods: XACT fruit bars, electrolyte tabs, and yes — made-to-order grilled cheese. Riders rolled in hot, fueled up, and some even left with a little cheese on their gloves.
🎉 A massive shoutout to @andreaneln, XACT athlete Andréane Lanthier Nadeau, who ripped through Sunday’s stages to land 2nd place in the Elite Women’s category. Big ride, big day — congrats, ALN!
The XACT Booster Zone: Energy, Chaos, Reels for Days
Let’s be honest — even walking it was hard. When we spotted the section markings on Friday during stage taping, we knew it had potential. But by Saturday? The Booster Zone delivered.
- Spectators lined the trail, cowbells in hand
- Elite men threading sketchy inside lines with surgical speed
- GoPros and phones catching every near-miss, send, and steezy drift
- XACT banners and fruit bars dead-centre in the chaos
It became one of the most reposted, most shared, and most replayed clips of the weekend. Exactly what we came for.
And because it turned into such a wild party in the woods, we figured we’d keep the stoke going… with a little something for your next ride:
