Headwall Hustle
The Headwall Hustle is a 15 km trail race at Fernie Alpine Resort in Fernie, BC that is held as a segment of the Elk Valley Ultra. The route climbs through Timber Bowl up to the Headwall, follows several popular loop sections, and finishes after a steep descent back toward the finish area near the resort.
Pre-registration requires completion of an online RCR event waiver and entry of the RCR Event Release Agreement ID during checkout. The first and last name used on the waiver must match the name on the Ultrasignup account.
