Of course, that’s just the race. The whole Canadian Cheese Rolling Festival includes family activities, games, tastings and lots of fun ways for you and your family to enjoy Canadian cheese.
We host tasting seminars, bring in cheese makers and experts for you to talk to, have free activities for the kids, and, of course, lay out a beautiful spread of delicious Canadian cheeses to taste and buy. Plus, there are a ton of prizes to be won just by attending! And don’t forget, racers who wear costumes have a chance to win a $500 Gift Card from Marketplace IGA® !
The English have been Cheese Rolling for centuries on Cooper's Hill in Gloucestershire, and now Canada has its own traditional festival of cheesy delights – done Canadian-style!
Join us for the Cheese Rolling Festival this August 16th, from 12 to 4 PM, at Whistler Blackcomb!
You can register to race on August 16th at Base 2 of Blackcomb Mountain. Plus, it’s FREE! The registration tent opens at 11:00am but spaces fill up quickly so get there early if you want to secure a spot. Spaces are given on a first come first serve basis. There are men’s, women’s and children’s races – fun for everyone. Adult racers must be at least 19 years of age and provide valid government issued ID to register.
Helmets will be provided at the event, but participants are encouraged to bring their own protective gear.
