Race the North Face Brandon Hills
The event takes place in the Brandon Hills Wildlife Management Area in Brandon, MB. The trail network includes more than 50 km of single track running through hills formed by a glacier deposit. One notable feature is the SPINE ridge, which rises above the trees for about 2.5 km and provides prairie views. The 50 km course records about 1200 m of elevation gain.

The 10K and 25K are single loop courses. The 50K is two loops. The 25K loop has an aid station near the 13 km point. The 50K has an aid station at the start finish area and one at the 13 km point that is passed twice. There are no on course aid stations for the 10K.
Key rules and logistics: registrations are non refundable. Bib transfers are allowed through Ultrasignup until August 1, 2026; there is no waitlist. All 25K and 50K runners must carry hydration while on course. The event is cupless so participants must bring their own fluid container. Drop bags or crew support are allowed for 50K at the 25 km start finish area; 10K and 25K do not allow drop bags. Pacers are not permitted; a phantom pacer will result in disqualification. The Race Director may change the course, cancel the event, or switch to a virtual format for safety or health reasons. The trail system lacks motor vehicle access which can extend emergency response times. A 10 hour cutoff applies to 50K runners and the course closes at 18 00 for all participants.
