Race Details
Saturday October 8, 2022 @11am PST Start - Myra Canyon Adventure Park / South East Kelowna. Finish - Myra Canyon Adventure Park / South East Kelowna. Ascent - 510m / 1673ft Descent - 501m / 1673ft Our 12km course quickly heads uphill and climbs steady for the first kilometre to the aid station. From here, the climbing continues through a beautiful forest before turning left on Angel Springs trail. From here the trail starts descending and runners can expect more technical terrain, with lots of roots and rocks before hitting the first of four creek crossings. This time of year, the creek flows gently, allowing easy passage. The landscapes will continue to change from shadowed moss and fern filled forest, to open, bright loamy bits of single track. The final stretch to the finish is less of a push and definitely more of a punch ;) |

Ascent - 712m / 2335ft Descent - 712m / 2335ft 21km. 712m ascent. 710m descent. Runners exit Myra Canyon Park and run down June Springs road for approx. 900m until they reach the turn off on a short logging road that will take them into beautiful Myra Bellevue Provincial Park! A favourite on this side of the park, runners will flow along Pipers and over to Lost Lake before climbing up Grassy trail and eventually turning left on Outhouse trail which is a fun and winding single track. Runners will hit a short piece of FSR (Hromek) down to Bailout trail, which requires a sharp right hand turn! Bailout trail will be filled with beautiful fall colours and rolling terrain all the way to June Springs parking lot where runners will access the aid station. From here, runners follow the 12km course to the finish and should save some jam for the final punchy climb. |
