Race Information
Set in the scenic terrain around Vedder Mountain and Cultus Lake in British Columbia, the event invites runners and multisport athletes to take on enticing challenges across rugged singletrack trails and pristine lakefront surroundings. Options include a 15 km run or a more demanding 35 km route on the trail‑only day, and on the multisport day participants can tackle or team up for a paddle‑board, off‑road bike and trail‑run relay or solo challenge. Marked courses ensure athletes can focus on performance and scenery, while the post‑race social zone, environmental give‑back and community spirit round out a compelling mountain‑trail experience.
