About The Event
Elk Valley Ultra – hosted by Stag Leap Running 2024
Now in its sixth year, the Elk Valley Ultra is a high-vert, challenging 50km race that encompasses some of Fernie’s best trails and jaw-dropping views.
Those going the full distance will take on the iconic Leg 1 up and over Mt. Fernie, onto Rocky Road, down to Island Lake Lodge Catskiing, before cruising through the Old Growth. Leg 2 follows the old Rail Trail, heading up punchy Verboten, before a fast descent onto the rolling, loamy Provincial Park trails, over to Fernie Alpine Resort.
Leg 3, (the 15km route), is a tour of the ski hill, climbing all the way up through Cedar Bowl to the base of the dramatic Headwall, before traversing all the way across into Timber Bowl for a steep descent to the Finish Line.
Runners can choose to do just Leg 3 as a shorter option…
