Race Details
Saturday July 16, 2022 @10am PST Start - Red Mountain Resort. Finish - Red Mountain Resort. Ascent - 623m / 2050ft Descent - 623m / 2050ft The Broken Goat 12km course is a challenging route that starts off at the base of Red Mountain Resort and quickly heads straight up dread head - a super steep single track trail that punches up to the top of Red Mountain. We promise it will be worth the effort, as runners can expect to run on some of the nicest single track this area has to offer! Mega views. Mega fun! You'll start a swoopy, swishy and sweet switchback descent which will lead you into some fun rolling terrain. Just be ready for the surprise climb near the end because just when you think you can smell the BBQ, you'll have to hoof your arse up one last climb before making your big debut back to the finish line at the base of Red Mountain. |

It is a challenging, point to point race that traverses along the beautiful “7 Summits” high alpine ridge trail and along Unnecessary Ridge, within the Rossland Range. The course travels along the lofty ridge lines between Nancy Greene Summit and the turn off, down to Red Mountain Resort, offering 360 degree views and forming an unforgettable running experience. |

Runners will be spoiled as the 7 Summits is one of the premier trails in the West Kootenays. Not to mention, the trail cruises at an average elevation of almost 2000m (6560ft). Runners will want to save some legs for the demanding descent on a mix of forest service road and amazing single track which will lead them into the finish at the base of Red Mountain Resort.
Like the 52km route, runners must also be comfortable self-supporting themselves until they reach Grey MTN, which is approximately 12 km into the course. Here they will access to an aid station.

Mountain weather is unpredictable, therefore we have a mandatory gear list and gear check for all 25k & 52k runners. Failure to meet the requirements will result in race organizers denying your start. Please note this is for your safety. Thank you.

Saturday July 16, 2022 @6am PST Start - Red Mountain Resort / shuttle Red Mountain Resort. Finish - Red Mountain Resort. Ascent - 2300m /7544 ft Descent - 2900m / 9512 ft Broken Goat 52k 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. Runners will have beautiful 360 degree views of the surrounding mountains and run on a mix of buff single track and technical rocky & rooty trails. 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. The race proceeds along the peaks and ridges in the following order: Mt Plewman (2241m/7350ft), Old Glory Mtn (2376m/7800ft), Unnecessary Ridge (2100m/6,888ft), Record Ridge (1760m/5,772ft), Granite Mtn (2036m/6700ft), Red Mtn (1591m/5218ft). |

Approximately 43km of the 52km route is on beautiful alpine singletrack with approximately 1km of FSR intermixed in sections and 5km of FSR on Molly's Road which links into the newly built and incredible "Pay Dirt" singletrack trail. Runners will then descent very close to the finish line before making a final push on the trail network within Red Mountain. You will be tired. You will be close enough to visualize a beer in your hand, but there is not room to waffle! The next 1.7km (457m/1500ft) climb up to the top of Red Mountain is often the hardest section for runners, this late in the race. For those who make it to the summit - they will enjoy the remaining 10km on flowy singletrack into the finish. Then it's officially beer time!
