Dirty Feet Beat The Buzzer

Dirty Feet Beat The Buzzer is a backyard ultra format trail event held at Stake Lake near Kamloops, BC. Runners repeat a loop of about 6 to 6.5 km each hour; to continue they must complete the loop within the hour. The event accepts solo entrants and two-person teams, and entries are offered in under six hours or over six hours categories. Teams are limited to 24 hours; only a solo runner is eligible for the advertised cash prize of $200.

The course uses Nordic ski trails and mixed terrain including single track, double track, hills, rocky sections and sandy sections. Organizers provide a well marked loop, light food at the start and finish area, and sponsored lap challenges with prizes during daytime laps. Aid station food is removed after 100 km (approximately 17 laps), and participants are responsible for their own water and most food supplies. Competitors planning long efforts are expected to provide lighting, charging and supplies for themselves or via their crew.

Pacers, outside support on the course, video crews and drones are not allowed; violations can result in a DNF. All runners who reach 100 km solo, and teams that reach 24 hours, receive a custom belt buckle. Optional participant medals are available for purchase in advance or on race day.
