• The winner of the event is guaranteed a spot on the Canadian National leaderboard.

• The top performance from this race is submitted for consideration toward Team Canada selection for the Big Dog’s Backyard Ultra World Team Championship.

• Bronze events are part of the international ranking system and help determine invitations to Silver and Gold Ticket events, which feed into the World Championship races.

Brokenagan Backyard Ultra – FAQ

Can I participate even if I’m not going for the Bronze Medal?

Yes! You do not need to be an elite athlete or run for 24+ hours to enter. This event is open to all runners looking to challenge themselves. You can stop whenever you're ready—whether that’s after 3 loops or 30. You’ll be cheered on just the same.

What’s the difference between a regular and bronze event?

• A Bronze Medal Event is sanctioned and ranked, meaning results count toward international standings.

• The winner of the Brokenagan BYU will have their performance submitted for possible Team Canada qualification.

• Non-medal events are usually unsanctioned and more casual.

Do I need to run for 24 hours to “win”?

No. The format continues until only one runner finishes a loop that no one else does. There is no set end time—your race could last 8 hours… or 48.

Can I run as a team or relay?

No. The BYU format is strictly solo only—no team category, no pacing, no substitutions.

Can I leave the venue between loops?

No. Once the race begins, you must remain in the staging area unless you're out running a loop. Leaving the area counts as a withdrawal.

Can I get help or pacing during a loop?

No. All outside assistance, pacing, or aid must take place in the staging area only, between loops.

Is this a good event for first-timers?

Yes! Backyard Ultras are actually one of the most inclusive ultra formats:

• You can run as few or as many loops as you like

• There’s no cutoff other than the hour per loop

• The community vibe and loop format make it great for spectators, support crews, and runners who want to experiment with overnight racing or new distances.

Do I need special gear?

🏃‍♀️ Trail Race Overview – 13km | 28km | 52km

All three distances will challenge runners with a beautiful and demanding course set in the heart of Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park, known for its epic views, punchy climbs, and fast-flowing single-track.

🚩 The Start

Every race begins with a single-track climb, ascending through forested switchbacks and opening up to a breathtaking panoramic view looking south over the turquoise waters of Kalamalka Lake. This iconic view is just the beginning.

You'll traverse a scenic ridge with sweeping lake vistas before hitting another short climb. Here’s where the courses diverge:

• 🟢 13km runners continue on the main trail, circling around the mountain to the finish.

• 🔵 28km & 52km runners peel off onto their own route, heading deeper into the trail network.

🗺 The Long Course Adventure – 28km & 52km

After the split, you’ll descend the Corral Trail, take a left onto Sidewinder, and roll into Cosens Bay parking lot. From there, take a right under the High Rim Trail arch, cruise past Gingerly, and drop into Bear Valley, connecting with Broken Bits.

At Broken Bits, hang a left and grind up to the kiosk. This marks your entry to some of the park’s most technical and loved terrain: ➡️ Three Rings → Cosens Bay rd → Aid Station #1 / Transition Point

From here, it’s time to dig deep.

The Climb Gauntlet

Buckle up for some soul-testing elevation with a series of trails that define this race:

• 36

• HRT

• Purple Haze

• Jimmy Thang

• Big Ed → Dope on a Rope

At Big Ed, you'll reach a key course split:

• 🔹 28km runners turn right onto Dope on a Rope

• 🔸 52km runners stay the course for more quad-busting climbs and descents.

The Final Push – 52km

The last section is a rollercoaster of technical descents, rewarding climbs, and nonstop singletrack stoke. As you near the finish, your legs will be toast, but your heart will be full. Expect wild views, trail magic, and a finish line you won’t forget.

Event Rules:

REGISTRATION OPENS: November 1st, 2025

REGISTRATION CLOSING: September 11th, 2026

The Brokenagan 24 is a unique endurance challenge based on the classic "backyard ultra" format—but with a twist. You or your team will have 24 hours to complete as many 4.17-mile (6.7 km) loops as you can on a beautiful trail course set in the alpine forests of Silver Star Provincial Park.

You can tackle it solo or with a team of 2 to 4 runners. Your goal? Push your limits, test your strategy, and see how far you can go.

Solo or Team—Your Choice

• Solo: Take on the full 24 hours and run as many loops as you can.

• Team: Teams of 2 to 4 runners rotate through loops—one runner at a time on course. Teams decide their own strategy: one loop each, longer intervals, or tactical breaks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to run for the full 24 hours?

No. You can stop whenever you like. The challenge is to complete as many loops as you're able—whether that's 2 loops or 22!

Can our team members run at the same time?

No. Only one team member may be on the course at a time. This keeps the playing field level and consistent with the endurance format.

Can we set up a rest and aid area?

Yes! You're welcome to bring a 10x10 canopy tent, chairs, gear, and fuel. This becomes your home base and cheering zone between loops.

Can I leave the area to shower or rest elsewhere?

No. Once the event begins, you must remain in the staging area unless you're out on the course. Leaving the area will count as a withdrawal.

Can I receive assistance on the course?

No. All aid and support must be taken within the staging area. This includes food, hydration, and gear changes.

Can I have a pacer?

No pacers are allowed. Each loop is meant to be completed solo—by the registered runner only.

Can I take as long as I need for each loop?

Yes. This is not a last-one-standing race. You can take breaks between loops and complete them at your own pace. The clock only stops after 24 hours.

How long is each loop?

4.17 miles (6.7 km), with a mix of rolling trail terrain, beautiful scenery, and well-marked singletrack.

Is This a Good Event for Spectators?

Absolutely! The Brokenagan 24 is an awesome event for spectators and support crews. Here’s why:

• The loop format means runners return to the same central staging area each time, so you can cheer every lap.

• You can set up lawn chairs, bring a cooler, and settle in for a day (and night!) of trail fun.

• Watch the drama unfold as fatigue, strategy, and determination kick in during the later hours.

• Bonus: it’s a great way to introduce friends and family to trail running without needing to hike far into the backcountry!

June 12th, 2026

January 14th, 2026

You must be able and pre-pared to run/hike 8 hrs over the duration of the camp.

We will have 3 different length of run time groups

A: Max 3hr runs

B: Max 2 hour runs

C: Max 60-90 minute runs

D: Our hike groups will be fluid dependent on ability and feel of the groups

There will be 2 days during your camp where you will do 2 runs.

One will be an endurance run and the second will be a discipline specific run ie: Technical descent and climb training.

*Second workout is optional for the hike groups

Running Pace doesn't matter as runners will be separated into pace groups.

*Must have hydration pack and trail runners, poles are optional.
