Routes & Maps

For 2024, we plan to race the same route as 2023.  Below are the routes and maps for each race distance.  Driving and parking instructions for the crew-accessible aid stations can be found on the Race Guide page

120 Mile Route

The 120 mile route begins near the town of Keremeos British Columbia, in Cathedral Provincial Park and finishes in iconic E.C. Manning Provincial Park. The course is 124 Miles long, incorporating a point-to-point style route with cumulative elevation gain over 26,240 feet or 8000 meters. The majority of the course is run on very remote technical single track trail where you can experience the solitude of the Canadian wilderness. Much of the course is far from road access and will take you through some of the absolute most scenic parts of southwestern British Columbia. You will travel from valley bottoms up into high sub-alpine terrain with many panoramic views along the way. 

There are 5 distinct climbs, and one river crossing at the Pasayten River (some current, rope provided). Approx 13 miles (21 km) of road (paved and gravel combined), with the remainder of the course on trails.
