Online registration is scheduled to begin January 1st, 2020; subject to local landowner approval.
Be prepared for a wide variety of terrain including steep and rewarding high alpine climbs, back-country routes, old-growth forest, flowy provincial park trails and rewarding views throughout the valley on 95% singletrack. With ~3,000m of climbing, it’s set to be an amazing run. No roads, no out-and-backs. A route as challenging as it is beautiful, steep as it is rewarding.
