Event Logistics and Participant Information:

-- Course Profiles: The 10km trail run winds through the resort’s private trail system, while the 10km mountain bike portion utilizes the accessible and flowy trails of the adjacent Ellison Provincial Park.
-- Entry Inclusions: For a flat fee of $15 (plus fees/taxes), participants receive a post-race smash burger, non-alcoholic beverages, and high-fives from the support crew.
-- Flexibility: The duathlon format allows for solo participants to tackle both the run and bike legs, or for teams to split the disciplines. The inclusion of E-bike categories further emphasizes the event's goal of inclusivity.
-- Registration Deadlines: Registration closes on Thursday, May 14, 2026, at 11:59 PM PT. Given the low entry fee and popular location, early registration via UltraSignup is encouraged.
-- Terrain: Participants can expect a mix of scenic, approachable trails with occasional "spicy" technical sections typical of the North Okanagan landscape.
