The Squamish 50 races are TOUGH, truly unforgettable trail running experiences. With our marquee 50 mile race boasting over 90% singletrack and more than 11,000 feet of climbing and descent, topped off by stunning sweeping vistas across glaciated snow capped peaks that jut straight out of the Pacific Ocean, these courses are sure to take your breath away.
Let us put it this way, the first six miles and the final mile are relatively flat. Then there is over 11,000 feet / 3350 meters of climbing jammed into approximately 43 miles of terrain. Your largest individual climb is 2500 feet / 750 meters. This is an exceptionally difficult course made tougher still by the technical nature of a majority of the terrain. Throw in the fact that the back half runs much more difficult than the front half and you have yourself a nice little day of suffering in the mountains. Thankfully we’ve made every effort to distract you with incredible scenery at every possible turn.
We’ve definitely constructed an event by runners, for runners, that highlights the absolute best running terrain in Western Canada.
Trail Runner Magazine listed Squamish as a Top Trail Town, and locals have long known what makes Squamish such a highly sought-after adventure destination. Our greatest challenge has not been piecing together a stellar 50 mile course, it has been trimming this race down to just 50 miles. Our options were endless and as such we’ve been able to create a truly unforgettable trail ultra experience.
