The course
The 2026 101 km Big Foot Loop of the Cranbrook Gravel Grind, a gravel loop from Idlewild Park in Cranbrook to Lake Koocanusa.
The 2026 Cranbrook Gravel Grind was raced on Saturday, September 5, starting and finishing at Idlewild Park in Cranbrook, British Columbia. The Big Foot Loop heads out on Gold Creek Road and the Chief Isadore and Trans Canada trails, then crosses the farmland of Wardner, with the Steeples and Lake Koocanusa as a backdrop, on Wardner-Kikomun Road. It then climbs Teepee Creek Road — the main climb, about 303 metres between km 52 and km 64 — and comes down Gold Creek Road to Idlewild Park. The highest point is at 1,339 metres. In all, 1,400 metres of climbing, according to the organizer. This is the exact route plotted here — every turn at its precise intersection.
