Broken Goat is located in the beautiful Kootenay Rockies Region of British Columbia
Broken Goat 12km is a challenging route that starts off at the base of Red Mountain Resort and quickly climbs up to the summit of Red Mountain. Runners can expect to run on some of the best single track Rossland has to offer! Mega views. Mega fun! Broken Goat 25km follows the same start as the 52km course and includes the summit of Mount Plewman and traverses along the beautiful high alpine “7 Summits” trail and over Unnecessary Ridge. The majority of the course cruises at an average elevation of 2000m (6550ft) and showcases lofty ridge lines between Nancy Greene Summit and Red Mountain, offering 360 degree views. |
Broken Goat 52km is one of BC's most challenging and scenic ultra's. This is a point to point route which takes place on the beautiful “7 Summits” high alpine trail and accesses several peaks & ridges along the way while soaking up 360 degree views of the surrounding mountains. Participants must be prepared for a long and strenuous journey in remote alpine terrain and also must be comfortable self-supporting themselves until they reach Grey Mountain - 23km into the race.

Mandatory Gear & Check
This is a remote point to point race racers need to be prepared for varying temperatures - think in terms of being stuck - if you are forced to spend extra time out in the weather, you will be much better off if you have carried extra clothing & fuel to help. A sprained ankle for instance could mean a long, slow painful limp into the nearest aid station, possibly in cold rain. Hypothermia can be very dangerous, especially on tired bodies with no reserves left for generating heat. Aid station #1 is at approx. 22km into the 52km race & 16km into the 25km race.
50k & 25k Runners MUST start with the following items and carry these with them until the Red MTN Aid station. (aid #3):
- Lightweight jacket for variable weather and cold temperatures
- Emergency Blanket
Runners must start the race with the following fuel & hydration requirements:
- Hydration pack, handheld water bottles or flasks equalling a minimum of 1.5 litres
- Food equalling a minimum 400 calories
The following is "recommended" gear:
- Cap/toque (some areas are exposed to sun) and it will keep your head warm in cold temperatures).
- Extra warm layer in addition to a jacket, like a thin long sleeve base layer.
- Cell phone: portions of the course has cell coverage.
- Bear Spray.
- Gloves.
- Sunglasses.
- Sunscreen and lip balm.
- High energy fuel and drink.
GEAR CHECK
10 Essentials:
We encourage everyone to always carry the 10 Essentials for backcountry safety in your pack - whether you’re out training or adventuring on your own or with friends, or participating in one of our marked races, you can never predict what might happen. Learn more about the 10 Essentials in this article by Emelee Outdoors.
52k runners must keep all mandatory gear until they are out of higher elevations and reach Aid Station #3 at the bottom of Red Mountain Resort.
25k runners, however, must keep their mandatory gear with them during the whole race.
This is for your safety and race organizers reserve the right to adapt or change the mandatory list/rules last minute.
Please ensure you attend the mandatory race briefing for any last minute changes. Thank you for your cooperation

Thank you for considering the P.A.C.E Trail Race Series where we host a variety of events in beautiful British Columbia. We are a small, family owned series who's goal is simple. To offer runners a professional, memorable, scenic and challenging race series that feels inclusive, welcoming and rewarding.
We work hard to keep our events on the 'grass roots' side of things. We are all about those special handmade, home grown touches; apple pies, jams, handmade ceramic finishers medals, handmade stained glass, coffee (roasted by the race director and her husband) and ensuring runners have an experience that feels more like coming home or a family reunion.
We have strong environmental & community values, such as composting, recycling and we support local charities and donate a portion of our race fees back to the trail groups that build, maintain and advocate for the trails we are so privileged to enjoy.
In terms of our courses - our series is very diverse. We have 3 totally different races that we host in the Okanagan and 1 race we host in the high alpine mountains in the Kootenays. The terrain and landscapes are all unique and not one race course will leave you feeling like the other. They do have a few things in common, however. They're all really challenging and scenic, combine all the best trail networks each area has to offer.
We want to thank you for taking time to visit the P.A.C.E. Trail Runs website and we hope to welcome you into the #pacefamily in 2024.
