About the race
Beat the Buzzer at Stake Lake near Kamloops, BC is a backyard ultra variant organized by Dirty Feet Trail Races on June 12, 2027. The event uses a looped course at the Stake Lake Nordic ski trails; the exact route will be posted in the week before the race. Each loop is about 6.4 km on mixed terrain including singletrack, double track, hills, rocky sections and sandy sections.
The race format restarts every hour and runners must complete a loop in under an hour to be eligible to start the next loop. Entries are available for solo runners and for teams; teams are subject to a 24 hour cutoff. Solo runners only are eligible for the cash prize. Prizing includes a $200 cash prize for the last runner remaining, belt buckles for solo runners who reach 100 km and for teams that reach 24 hours, and optional participant medals available in advance or on race day.
Participants are expected to carry or arrange their own water, food and long‑haul supplies; a light food station will be available at the start/finish and aid food will be removed after 100 km (about 17 laps). Pacers, video crews and drones are not allowed on course. A ribboned pit area is reserved for runners going over six hours. Early packet pickup is available at Runners Sole the day before or at the start/finish on race morning. Registration opens December 4, 2026.
