Seek the Peak 2026
Seek the Peak 2026 takes place on June 13, 2026 and runs from Ambleside Park to the Mountaintop Plaza at Grouse Mountain. The course distance is 16 km with 1,400 m of elevation gain. The route is described in four consecutive legs: Ambleside Beach to the Capilano Pacific Trail, a re-routed section back onto the Capilano Pacific Trail and up to Nancy Greene Way, the ascent of the Grouse Grind following its 2,830 steps to the plateau, then a final kilometer across the plateau and up the ski run known as Heaven’s Sake to the peak.
Entries are offered for solo participants and for relay teams of 2 to 4, with relay teams able to split the course into four legs. The course has a 4 hour 30 minute time limit and marshals will perform safety sweeps. Aid stations at checkpoints and the finish provide hydration and snacks, and the route will be marked with flags and course marshals.
A portion of registration fees supports the Metro Vancouver Regional Parks Foundation. Included with entry are a Grouse Mountain Skyride download ticket valid on race day, a shuttle bus between Grouse Mountain and Ambleside Park, a commemorative race bib, aid stations, finish line celebration with DJ and recovery zone, and a finisher medal. The event has eliminated disposable cups at aid stations and asks participants to carry a refillable hydration vessel.
A 10 week training clinic is available as an add on, offering a training plan and weekly group sessions led by a trainer and volunteer pacers. Registration is online only and certain purchases and fees are non refundable according to event terms. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
