Bar-Ka-Koo Ultra & Relay

The Bar-Ka-Koo Ultra & Relay is a challenging running event held at Chickakoo Lake Recreation Area in Parkland County. Participants can choose between a solo 55 km ultra or relay options for teams of two or five. The course consists of five 11 km loops, with a significant portion being technical single-track trails.

Runners must complete the fourth loop by a specified cutoff time. The event emphasizes self-sufficiency, with minimal course marking and mandatory checkpoints. A portion of the proceeds supports the Little Warriors charity, which focuses on child sexual abuse prevention and treatment. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
