Vedder Mountain Challenge

The Vedder Mountain Challenge, previously known as Conquer the Vedder, is held at Cultus Lake, British Columbia. The event takes place over two days, featuring dedicated trail running races and a multisport competition. The event serves as a fundraising platform for the Vedder Mountain Trails Association (VMTA).

The first day is focused on trail running, offering two different distances. The 15 km course includes an ascent and descent of 650 meters. A specific registration category exists for students with a valid ID card. The 35 km course is more technical, featuring an ascent and descent of 1,900 meters.

The second day is reserved for the multisport challenge, which follows a SUP-Ride-Run format. Participants can compete in this event as individuals or in teams of three. The relay category is limited to a maximum of 50 teams.

Participants can choose from several event formats:

  • 15 km Trail Run
  • 35 km Trail Run
  • Solo Multisport (SUP, Ride, Run)
  • Relay Multisport (3-person team for SUP, Ride, Run)

The event is located at Parmenter Road in Cultus Lake and is part of a larger racing series. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
