Velirium will return to Mont-Sainte-Anne for another year from July 12 to 27. Canada's biggest mountain bike festival will host the 17th edition of the UCI World Cup held there as well as the Canadian Championships and the Québec Cups. Mont-Sainte-Anne is the only venue in North America to have hosted the UCI World Cup competition every year since its inception in 1991.
Velirium is composed of three weekends at Mont-Sainte-Anne to celebrate mountain biking. It annually attracts 55,000 visitors, 2,500 athletes, and 150 journalists. The weekend will also give racers a chance to check out the area, which will host the 2010 World Championships.
