Bar-Ka-Koo Ultra & Relay

The Bar-Ka-Koo Ultra & Relay is a challenging trail running event held at Chickakoo Lake Recreation Area in Parkland County. Covering a total distance of 55 km, participants complete five 11 km loops on a 75% technical single-track course. The race features a 10-hour cutoff, with mandatory checkpoints on each loop and alternating running directions.

The event is self-supported with minimal course markings, and runners should be prepared for dark, cold, and potentially lonely conditions. Options include solo runs and relays for two or five-person teams. All finishers receive medals and event swag, with proceeds supporting the Little Warriors charity.
