About the race
The Knee Knackering North Shore Trail Run is an annual 30-mile foot race along the Baden-Powell Centennial Trail from Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver to Deep Cove in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The course includes sustained climbing and descending, with about 8,000 feet of ascent and about 8,300 feet of descent, and passes city, mountain and ocean viewpoints.
The event is intended for people with some experience in trail or endurance running and is organized by the Northshore Ultra Trailrunning Society, incorporated as a non-profit society in British Columbia. Entry has been managed by lottery for an expanded field of 262 runners. The race began as a group run of eight participants in 1989 and reached a pre-race limit of 125 runners by 1994. Since its inception the event has raised about $204,000 for various charities.
The race website includes resources for participants such as a runners’ guide, course description and maps, aid station and drop bag information, cutoffs and estimated times, shuttle and driving directions, and a record of results and photos from recent years. Running Wild magazine has recognized the race as one of 25 toughest races in North America. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
