About the event
The Vedder Mountain Challenge invites trail runners to explore the rugged terrain and scenic beauty around Cultus Lake, British Columbia, over a two-day race weekend hosted by Heads or Trails. On Saturday, participants can choose between a full 35K course with an impressive 1,900 meters of elevation gain starting at Main Beach in Cultus Lake, or opt for the shorter yet challenging 15K route that offers 650 meters of ascent. Both races begin early on Saturday morning, allowing runners to soak up breathtaking views and navigate through diverse forest trails, making it a memorable experience for trail enthusiasts. The event promises an immersive day out in nature with its steep climbs, technical sections, and serene landscapes.
