Coast Mountain Delivers Update on New Race

15 January 2024

As promised by Gary after the Whistler kerfuffle Coast Mountain Trail Running delivered an update on the new rival races CMTR are putting on to compete with Whistler’s UTMB event.

Where?
Chilliwack (so surprising I know).

When?
September. Exact dates are still being confirmed, but it will most likely be earlier in the month, sometime after the Canadian Labour Day long weekend.  

What (distances)?
Kids race
~25km (still to be finalized)
55K – 56.2 Kms +3248m / -3432m (+10,656ft / -11,259ft)
50mile – 86K +/- 5375m (+/- 17,634ft)
100K – 102.7 Kms +/-2707m (+/- 8881ft) *note this is a more runnable / friendlier 100km race option & does not involve big mountains & big vert*
100mile – 162.5K +/- 9468m (+/- 31,062ft)

It sounds like not all permits are secured yet, so we don’t get the full reveal and all the details. The big missing pieces for folks wanting to register are the actual date of the event and how many people they’ll allow in for their first year. The post on Instagram had garnered 134 likes in less than 10minutes, so I bet it’ll sell out no matter what within in instance.

Next update: Early Feb will have the website up with registration going live on Feb 16th.
