About the event

The Folding Mountain Ultra invites trail runners to immerse themselves in the breathtaking landscapes of Jasper National Park with its challenging course through the Fiddle Range and Athabasca Valley. Featuring rugged alpine terrain, exposed ridgelines, and sweeping vistas that showcase the grandeur of the Canadian Rockies, this event offers a diverse range of distances for all levels: 25KM for those looking to explore shorter trails and scenic views, and two 60KM options – one solo and another relay race. The course is known for its steep climbs and fast descents, providing an exhilarating yet demanding experience.
The start and finish line at Folding Mountain Landing buzzes with energy throughout the day as runners, crew members, friends, and family converge to celebrate this mountain adventure together. This hub serves as a lively basecamp complete with music, food stalls, and race-day festivities that create an inclusive atmosphere for everyone involved in the event.
Nestled near Jasper National Park’s entrance, Folding Mountain Landing offers more than just running opportunities; it is surrounded by endless adventures including hiking trails, hot springs, lakeside relaxation, biking routes, and local dining options. Whether you’re a seasoned ultrarunner or new to mountain trail racing, this destination promises an unforgettable experience in one of Canada's most stunning regions.
