Canmore Ultra, June 5

Secure Your Spot!

The Canmore Ultra is an intro to trail running event. The goal of this event is to cover an ultra (~50km) in a beautiful setting, with plenty of support, and the community celebrating you and your achievement.

This will be a looped course with multiple aid stations, access to crew, drop bags, washrooms and a 10 hour cut off.

We are limiting the first year to 200 participants.

Sign up soon to secure your spot & sweet finisher swag!

Whether you’re looking to tackle a new PB or you want to run long without having to carry all of your gear for several hours, this is the race for you.

If you’re a fan of the incredible 5 Peaks Trail Running Series events, please know that the vibe will be just as fun but this course will be a bit more challenging due to the longer distance and duration. Please plan and prepare accordingly. You should have realistically run a minimum of 35km on trail before attempting the 50km ultra distance.
