Course and terrain
The main course uses a point-to-point route beginning in Keremeos, BC and finishing in E.C. Manning Provincial Park. The course is described as 124 miles long with cumulative elevation gain of approximately 26,000 feet (just under 8,000 meters). Most of the route follows remote, technical single-track trails, often far from road access, and travels from valley bottoms into high sub-alpine terrain with panoramic views. Other distances run on sections of the 120-mile route. Route maps and GPX files are provided by the organizers.
Other notes
A separate Fat Dog Backyard Ultra is hosted at Exhibition Park in Abbotsford, BC in March. The event donates a portion of entry fees to the Run For Water Society, is Trail Sisters approved, and participates in the International Trail Running Association green program.
