Overview
With 45.3 meters of ascent per kilometer, this 53-kilometer trail race through Kaslo, BC, presents a relentless vertical profile where steady climbing legs matter far more than flat-out running pace. The route packs 2400 meters of total elevation gain across mountain terrain featuring rugged ascents and alpine ridges, leaving runners with very little runnable reprieve over the distance.
The event drew a mid-sized group of 52 finishers at its 2026 debut, landing it in the middle ranks of the distance category—bigger than 59% of 50k fields and smaller than 40% across 2828 peer events. For an entry fee between 200 and 220 dollars, participants get a backcountry test built around sustained mountain climbs rather than crowded trail corridors.
