Elly Hoskin (born November 2, 2004) is a Canadian professional enduro mountain bike racer from Squamish, British Columbia. In 2025, she won the Elite Women's title at the UCI Enduro World Championships in Bellwald, Valais, Switzerland. She is the first Canadian woman in history to win an elite Enduro World Cup event and an elite Enduro World Championship.

Early Life and Background

Hoskin grew up in Squamish, British Columbia. Before focusing exclusively on mountain biking, she played competitive soccer with ambitions of a professional career. She also competed in road and cross-country mountain bike racing. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she stopped cross-country racing and briefly transitioned to downhill mountain biking. When the Canadian National Enduro series resumed in 2021, she transitioned to enduro racing in 2021 which played to her strengths as an endurance athlete with technical skills. She won the domestic series overall title that same year.

Racing Career

Junior and U21 Categories (2022–2024)

Hoskin began racing international enduro events in 2022. After winning the EWS 100 in Whistler in 2022, she received an invitation to represent Canada at the Trophy of Nations in Finale Ligure, Italy, with U21 riders Lily Boucher and Emmy Lan, marking her first time traveling internationally with a bicycle. The team was favoured to win and was winning by a six minute margin with one stage left, when another team member crashed and was concussed. The Canadian U21 dream team had to withdraw from the race. Team USA went on to win the rainbow jerseys that year, which included Hoskin’s Corsa Enduro Team teammate, 20-year old, Ainsley Haggart.

In 2023 and 2024, Hoskin established herself as a top talent in the Under-21 (U21) category. She won the U21 Canadian Open Enduro at Crankworx Whistler. In her first year racing in the Enduro World Cup circuit, she landed on the podium in almost every race. In the final World Cup race of 2023 in Chatel, France, she broke her foot during practice and had to return to Canada for surgery. Despite missing that race, she still placed second in the U21 Series Overall. In 2024, she had similar results including a victory at the Aletsch Arena round of the Enduro World Cup in Switzerland. Again in 2024, she placed second in the U21 Series Overall. Alongside her racing career, she worked as a barista and mountain bike coach in Squamish, attended university at UBC Okanagan and was coached by Adam Walker of Duncan, BC.

Breakout Elite Season (2025)

In 2025, Hoskin moved up to the Elite Women's category, riding for Devinci Cycles - The Movement team aboard a Devinci Spartan HP.

World Cup History: At Round 2 of the 2025 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup in Bielsko-Biała, Poland, Hoskin won her first Elite World Cup race by over 45 seconds. The victory made her the first Canadian female racer to win an elite-level Enduro World Cup. She secured a second World Cup victory later in the season at Morillon, France, during a grueling 4-day event (2 days of practice plus 2 days of racing).

Crankworx Whistler: Hoskin won the Canadian Open Enduro in her elite debut at Crankworx Whistler, winning 3 of 5 stages, including the longest, Top of the World to Village.

World Championship Title: On September 1, 2025, Hoskin competed in the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships in Bellwald, Switzerland. Despite losing 30 seconds mid-race due to a mechanical setback, she won four out of six stages. She won the final stage to secure the gold medal and the rainbow jersey by 4.53 seconds over Great Britain's Ella Conolly. France’s Melanie Pugin was third. For her 2026 Enduro World Cup (EDR) campaign, Devinci Cycles built Elly Hoskin a completely custom, white-on-white "World Champ" edition of the all-new 4th-generation Devinci Spartan. Unlike her 2025 race rig, which featured a high-pivot design, her 2026 non-high-pivot aluminum frame is packed with prototype electronic suspension and electronic shifting. The final race machine was built by Devinci's lead field mechanic, Steff King.

National Title: She concluded her breakout season by winning the Canadian National Enduro Championship in Bromont, Quebec, on September 20-21, 2025.

Following her season, Hoskin won the Breakout Rider of the Year award at the Pinkbike Awards.

Accolades: Hoskin was named Sport BC’s 2025 Junior Female Athlete of the Year.

In May 2026, she won the Squamish Enduro, locally considered the first and hardest ‘World Cup’ of the season, where she swept all 6 stages and beat Canadian competitor Geza Rodgers (second place) by over 1 minute

2026 Season

In early 2026, Devinci announced Hoskin's promotion to their The Movement roster, providing her with more professional support. She began her 2026 racing season by placing second at the Sea Otter Classic Enduro, just 1 second off of first place. On May 3, Hoskin won all six stages of the Squamish Enduro (Elite Women) by over minute to Geza Rogers, in second place. She also won the Dave Stage – a select stage on the Squamish Enduro route (Stage 6 in 2026 Pro Course) that honours Dave Reid, the legendary visionary and prolific trail-builder who helped shape the world-class mountain bike trail network in Squamish that riders enjoy today.

In Valais, Switzerland, Hoskin earned her best result of the 2026 World Cup season with a second-place podium finish. Hoskin concluded the 2026 World Cup Enduro season in Morillon, France, finishing sixth in the race, and securing third place in the Overall Series with 790 points behind winner Ella Connolly (Great Britain) and runner-up, Melanie Pugin (France).

On September 12-13, Hoskin won her second straight Canadian Elite Enduro National title in Bromont, Quebec, with a time of 30:46.16.

She will head to the UCI Enduro World Championships in Finale Ligure, Italy, October 15-18, 2026, to battle for the rainbow stripes and defend her World Champion title.
