About the race
Sinister 7 Ultra is a multi-distance mountain ultramarathon held July 10-11, 2027 in Crowsnest Pass, Alberta. The event offers solo and team options and courses that traverse remote terrain in the Rocky Mountains. The 100-mile course is divided into seven stages that highlight geographic and historic features of the area.
Distances include:
- 100-mile: Solo or relay, 7 stages, stages range 10.7km to 36.2km
- 50-mile: Solo only, 4 stages, stages range 10.7km to 36.2km
- 50k: Solo only, 2 stages of 22.8km and 30.8km
- Half Marathon: Solo only, 1 stage of 22.8km
- Relay: Teams up to seven on the 100-mile course
Elevation gain and time limits are specified per distance, for example the 100-mile course lists 6,692 m gain and a 30-hour cutoff. Transition areas are at the end of each stage, are vehicle accessible, and are staffed with drinking water and snack food; drop bags are allowed at each TA. Aid stations (control points) are located through each stage, are staffed, and provide drinking water. Support crews are not required but are recommended for solo runners and may meet racers at TAs; they should not meet runners at aid stations.
Registration closes June 21 at 23:59 MST or when full.
