Race Details

Affectionately known as Up Up and Away (Leg 1) and Triple Threat (Leg 2), the 50 ish km course is challenging but doable in the allotted 11 hours.

The course is unique and the first 50 kilometer ultramarathon held in the Cypress Hills. Runners will get to visit the highest elevation point between the Rocky Mountains and Labrador of 1466 Meters. Throughout this event, participants will be exposed to all types of terrain and species of wildlife. Finally, since this race is early in the Canadian climate year, racers may encounter weather conditions that play havoc on the terrain. 
Our Motto - Be Prepared. Enjoy!!!
