Event overview
The Fat Dog 120 Trail Race is a multi-day trail running event in British Columbia, scheduled for August 7-9, 2026. The main event is a long point-to-point course beginning in Keremeos and finishing in E.C. Manning Provincial Park. Distances offered include:
- 124 miles point-to-point main course
- 100 km
- 40 miles
Other distances use sections of the main course. The 120 mile event is run on a route that is described as point-to-point rather than a loop.
Course and other details
The main course has a cumulative elevation gain of about 26,000 feet (just under 8,000 meters). Most of the route is remote, technical single-track trail, often far from road access, and passes from valley bottoms into high sub-alpine terrain with panoramic views. Full route details, maps and GPX files are provided for racers.
The event organization runs trail maintenance for the used trail network and states a commitment to sustainability. A portion of race entry fees is donated to the Run For Water Society. The event is a Trail Sisters approved race and participates in the International Trail Running Association green program. A separate Backyard Ultra event is associated with the Fat Dog series.
