Maps and Course Descriptions:
The 1k hill climb takes you up Homerun Hill – expect a lung-busting and quad burning 70m of elevation gain on a 1km segment.
The 5k trail race starts flat, following the Stokely Creek for about 2.5 km, then turns left to reach its highest point at 3 km, return downhill all the way back to the lodge. This course is all along double-track ski trails.
The 25k trail race is not for the faint of heart, with approximately 850m of elevation gain and some very technical single track. There will be rocky sections, logs to scramble over, and mud puddles to navigate. Aid stations at 8.5km (Robertson Cliffs) and 16km (King Mountain) will support hydration and fueling. Packing water, food, rain protection is strongly recommended.

Their support and trust makes it possible for participants to experience the beauty of these trails and enjoy a memorable day in nature. We recognize that access to private land is a privilege, not a right, and their partnership helps make events like this possible. We encourage you to consider making a donation to support their ongoing conservation efforts. Every contribution helps maintain these special places and ensures they remain healthy, accessible and protected for years to come.
