Whistler 50 Relay and Ultra
Presented by BC Athletics, the event takes place at Whistler Olympic Plaza, Blackcomb Way, Whistler, British Columbia. This is the 16th annual Whistler 50 Relay & Ultra and combines an individual ultra with team relay options on the same course.
The event includes the following distances:
- 50 km solo Ultra : 5 x 10 km
- 50 miles relay : teams of 4 or 8
The solo 50 km is described as a beginners ultra. Solo runners complete five 10 km loops and are never more than 5 km from the race site. The solo must be finished in under 9 hours and 30 minutes.
In the relay, an eight-person team completes the 50 miles with each member running one 10 km loop. A four-person team runs two consecutive 10 km loops each, for 20 km per runner.
Packet pickup is scheduled at two locations on October 1 and October 2, including Fit First Footwear in Burnaby and at Whistler Olympic Plaza.
