This was Beast of Big Creek 2026!
Watch the recap video of the return of skyrunning to the USA and North America's only stop on the Skyrunner World Series.
The first brand new* UTMB event in North America was announced today in one of the most perfect locations for an international trail race. The dates are set for September 28-29 and the distances are 25K, 55K, 100K.
The event is added to the ECC UTMB Events Calendar.
* While this is technically the first race in North America that UTMB didn’t acquire but start from the ground up, the event runs on many of the same trails as Gary Robbins’ Whistler Alpine Meadow race. It’s even held during the same time of year. Coast Mountain cancelled their WAM race just this past February citing irresolvable differences with resort owner Vail.
