Chip Timing this year!!!
The race is 30km, primarily on forested trails around beautiful Cultus Lake. The race starts at Main Beach with a 2km loop on road and beach to thin out the crowd. You then run back past the start area, to your first serious climb on single track trails to the high point of the race (about 1450 ft.). A gradual descent on an old logging road brings you into Columbia Valley beyond the end of the lake. Then, 3km's of paved road (1km steep downhill) takes you back into 10km of undulating horse trails in the Provincial Park. Finally you run back along the beach where you started for a picturesque view of the lake and a nice flat finish.
A cut off time of 2 1/2 hours at the Watt Creek exchange (the leg 1 relay exchange/16km point) will be strictly enforced for all racers. there is a 5 hours cut-off time for both the 30km solo event and the full relay.
