We’re fresh back from JACKALOPE Mississauga 2026, marking the third stop of our season.
After every single event, our hearts are filled with gratitude as we listen to the feedback from the athletes. We hear it from our Golden Ticket winners, young talents given their very first shot to travel, compete on a global stage, explore new cities & make lifelong friends and memories. And we hear it from experienced pros who travel the world competing at the highest level, yet continuously remind us how unique it feels to be welcomed as part of a family at JACKALOPE.

Honestly? That’s what keeps our fire burning.
And here’s the truth for every brand that collaborates with us and every city that hosts us: this connection is our secret sauce.
When we say “Passion is Real,” we genuinely mean it
Most of our athletes have been with us for years, but with every new edition, the family grows.
“The relationship that this organization has with the athletes is a thing you can’t replicate… They get a white glove service that you don’t get anywhere else, and you then see that on the course.” — Victoria Clarke, CEO of Visit Mississauga
For our entire team, passion comes from seeing athletes have the time of their lives. But it’s also about supporting them on their journey. Athletes aren’t just here to put on a show for the crowd. This is their career, their livelihood, and their life’s work. Our team gets that, and we take it to heart.
What “White-Glove Service” Really Means to Us
Our athlete experience starts the moment they land. We pick up pro athletes at the airport with shuttles driven by local community athletes, loaded with snacks, water, and good vibes.
When we catch up with them over breakfast, we don’t just ask how they are out of politeness, we truly listen. And when a problem comes up? We move mountains to fix it, even before our first cup of coffee.
