About the Broken Goat
Broken Goat is nestled among the mountains in the quaint town of Rossland, B.C., one of Canada's highest cities. The 52km & 25km course follow the 7summits trail which offers an unforgettable point to point single-track traverse through the Rossland Range. It's is a true epic experience, making it the crown jewel of the Rossland trail network.
The race starts at an elevation of 1574m and 52km runners will summit 4 peaks along the way and 2 ridges, peaking at Old Glory Mountain at 2376m. 25km runners will summit 1 peak and 1 ridge with elevation peaking at Mount Plowman at 2241m. The entire 12km course takes place on Red Mountain which peaks at 2072m at the summit.
This event is so much more than just a race. It's a weekend set around majestic mountains, filled with epic trail running, craft beer, amazing food and great company.
In September 2009 my husband and I were married in this small Kootenay town. We celebrated with close friends, family and planned a full weekend of trail running, mountain biking, hiking and golf around our ceremony. We loved it there so much, we wanted to continue to share it with others. So naturally, in the fall of 2014 we came up with this big idea, after a fun scouting trip with the PACE team. In July of 2015 Broken Goat was born.
Trent and I now look forward to celebrating our "new" anniversary with our team, volunteers and racers from all over the land every July. xo

Mandatory Gear
The below listed mandatory gear list is subject to change and will be updated a few days before the race start.
Broken Goat is demanding and should only be undertaken by athletes in good physical condition. This is a remote point to point race and 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.
Runners must carry the following gear with them at all times:
- Lightweight jacket for variable weather and cold temperatures.
- Emergency Blanket
Runners must *start* the race with the following fuel & hydration requirements:
- Hydration pack or 2 large handheld water bottles equalling a minimum of 1.5 litres.
- Minimum 400 calories.
Please note: 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.
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.
