About This Event

This multi-day trail running adventure through British Columbia’s Selkirk Mountains delivers everything serious trail runners crave: technical terrain, stunning alpine scenery, and the camaraderie of a stage race format. Based at Revelstoke Mountain Resort, the event offers both three-day (100K) and five-day (100-mile) options, with daily stages ranging from 21-44 kilometers.

The course showcases the dramatic diversity of the Canadian Rockies, weaving through single-track trails, forest roads, and ski paths against the backdrop of the Columbia River Valley. Each stage presents distinct challenges: Mt. Mackenzie opens with a punishing 8K climb rewarded by panoramic views of surrounding peaks, while Mt. Macpherson flows through verdant, runnable trails. The redesigned Begbie Falls stage features a double loop past the cascading falls, and the final day explores Mackenzie Ridge and Ghost Peak terrain marked by flags and ribbons.

Technical sections may require poles, and the remote, wild character of the route demands solid preparation—organizers recommend prior trail marathon or 50K experience. Mandatory gear includes hydration packs, wind protection, and bear spray, reflecting the serious mountain environment.

The hub-and-spoke logistics work seamlessly, with stages either starting or finishing at the resort base or connected by shuttle. Daily cutoffs range from 8-9 hours, allowing time to absorb the mountain vistas without feeling rushed. Evening briefings at Revelation Lodge keep participants informed about upcoming challenges, while the nightly gatherings foster the tight community atmosphere that defines quality stage races.

Participants consistently praise the event’s organization and the raw beauty of terrain that few trail races can match in North America.
