The time trial starts on Highway 4 by the fire sub-station, about 100 metres east of the Beaver Meadow Road intersection. All riders will travel west with the junior categories turning around about 2.8 km down the highway and the remainder turning around at the end of the highway, about 6 km away. Riders will head back towards the start, but will turn right at Beaver Meadow Road. After crossing the bridge over Highway 104, everyone will make another turn to the right, this time onto Beaver Mountain Road. Follow this road to the top of the hill at the entrance to the provincial park. The climb averages about 10% over the final kilometre.
