Race Information
Building on the success and popularity of the Perseverance Trail Run established in 2003 and the overwhelming demand for an ultra-running event in the Comox Valley, Perseverance Adventure Club presents the Devil’s Ladder Ultra, an epic trail race that features a world-class singletrack in a spectacular rainshadow forest ecosystem.
Devil’s Ladder Ultra has three race distances to choose from, including the 15k Fun Fun, the Dirty 30k, and the Full Send 50k. All three distances will take place in the Cumberland Forest and will treat runners to challenging climbs, flowy singletrack, and quad-smashing downhills. You aren’t going to want to miss this one!

👍 Run Pick of the Month - Royal Victoria Marathon Weekend
📍Canadian Thanksgiving October 9-11, 2026
Five distances to choose from: Royal Victoria Marathon (42.2K), Outway Half Marathon (21.1K), Westland Insurance 8K, Island Savings 5K, and the Thrifty Foods Kids Run.
😄 Why We Like This Run:
✅ Set along stunning oceanfront routes
✅ Iconic start & finish in front of the Parliament Buildings
✅ Strong community vibe — running it's 46th year
The Royal Victoria Marathon set registration records in 2025, 45 years after its first race in 1980. With 2026 registration numbers already trending high, the event expects to sell out early as it did in 2025.
