Racing Dusk 20 Miler
Racing Dusk is a new mid‑December event presented by Iron Legs Running Company near West Bragg Creek. The course is composed of three loops that all start and finish at the West Bragg Creek parking area. Each loop is run counter clockwise and competitors may run the three loops in any order they choose, which means runners must rely on their chosen strategy without knowing where other runners are on the course.
The published distance is 20 miles and the event has an overall time limit of eight hours. Weather in mid-December can vary widely, from very cold conditions to fresh snow or mild dry days, and sunset occurs in late afternoon, so darkness is a consideration for late runners. GPX files for each loop are available in the Misc Race Info tab.
Race package pickup takes place on race morning at the West Bragg Creek parking area. Entry fees are listed as $105 plus GST and registration fee, and $120 plus GST and registration fee after October 19, 2025. Registrations completed by October 20, 2025 are eligible for a guaranteed shirt size. The organizer offers a 50 percent refund for cancellations made before October 20, 2025; refunds for event cancellation are based on timing and incurred expenses.
Mandatory gear that must be carried at all times includes a jacket, mitts or gloves, race bib, at least one litre of water, toque, an additional warm layer, and a space blanket or bivy bag. A headlamp is required for runners who will encounter darkness on the final loop. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
