Fat Dog 120 Trail Race

August 6-8, 2021

Coming to Canada? The current restriction involves a 2-week self-isolation so you would need to arrive by July 21. We don't know when this will change.
We are working on the Safety Plan for a safe return. Registration opens to the public Jan 5, 2020.
Most scenic ultra race in Canada. Join us for a challenging point to point race that straddles 3 stunning provincial parks in British Columbia, Canada in the Cascade Mountains. Just short of Everest for elevation gain; Fat Dog 120 mile is 8682 metres, Everest is 8848 metres.

  • Coming to Canada? The current restriction involves a 2-week self-isolation, so you would need to arrive by July 21 and stay isolated until Aug 4. We don't know when this will change. See Safety Plan page.
  • We will tentatively proceed with registration and if provincial guidelines prohibit hosting the event, or we cannot accommodate protocols, racers will get a deferral for the following year.
  • We are planning to use the original route from Keremeos to Manning in 2021. Racers from 2020 have been rolled over to 2021 unless they withdrew or donated their registration fee. Racers with deferrals have been sent an email that allows them to register and use their discount.
