About the event

Experience the thrill of Vertical Vendetta at Pass Powderkeg Ski Area in Crowsnest Pass, Alberta.

The course is marked by an average grade of 25%, making for a rigorous yet exhilarating experience as you work those quads to the limit. The race design ensures that each ascent builds on the last, pushing you both physically and mentally through sheer vertical metres of rugged terrain.
Vertical Vendetta promises a unique blend of competition and camaraderie. It’s not just about reaching 1,000m; it's about conquering every meter with determination. As runners reach their goal, they'll be greeted by post-race festivities that celebrate the spirit of adventure and community.
This grassroots event is all about embracing the challenge and enjoying the journey. Whether you're a seasoned racer or simply looking for an unforgettable experience, Vertical Vendetta offers something special. So lace up your shoes, embrace the climb, and get ready to feel alive!
