Question 4

What Does “Bronze Medal Event” Mean at Brokenagan?

Accepted Answer

The Brokenagan Backyard Ultra is officially recognized as a Bronze Ticket event for the 2025 season by the Backyard Ultra World Championships. This means:
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 the 2026 Silver event.
Note: The format remains the same—a 4mile loop completed every hour, on the hour, until only one runner remains.

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 or more 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 100hrs.

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?
A watch and/or timer is helpful so you’re ready to start the next loop on the hour.
You’ll want a tent or 10x10 canopy, warm clothes, food, a chair, and any personal aid supplies.
Headlamp required for night loops.

Question 25

Race Description

Accepted Answer

🏃‍♀️ 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.

6km Racers – A Quick Honest Note
I’m going to be straight with you…
It’s 4km of rolling climb with a little extra trail seasoning built in… but your reward is a fun, cruising descent back down.
Short doesn’t always mean easy around here.

10km Racers —
This course packs a lot into 10km.
Expect spicy climbs, fun flowing descents, epic views, and amazing single track that will keep you smiling and working the entire way. It’s the perfect mix of challenge and reward with enough variety to keep things interesting from start to finish.

What to Expect on Course
Let’s be clear about what you’re stepping into, so you arrive prepared.
You will likely see:
• Some packed dirt
• Light snow in shaded sections
• A properly spicy climb
• Some techy descents (10km course)
• Flowing singletrack
• Late season most likely dry trail conditions

Conditions will vary. Trail shoes with solid grip are strongly recommended.

Strategy Tip
Tap it cool in the first half.
You are going to climb.
If you push too hard early, that spicy section will feel much harder than it needs to. 
Run smart. Hike strong when needed. Descend controlled. This course rewards patience and effort.

Aid station
There will be water and Tailwind provided by The Starting Block Vernon at the start/finish line, and some other small snacks, please bring what you need with you.

Question 42

NEW: Event Cancelation Guarantees

Accepted Answer

Included with Every Freaky Creeky Registration
With the increasing number of wildfires, smoke events, and other natural disasters impacting outdoor events across British Columbia, we understand that registering for an event months in advance can feel uncertain.
That's why Bush Babes & Bro's Trail Running now includes Event Cancellation Protection with every Freaky Creeky registration at no additional cost to our racers.
If Freaky Creeky is cancelled by BB&Bro's Trail Running prior to the event starting due to a qualifying natural disaster, eligible participants can receive 100% of their race registration fees refunded.

We believe you should be able to register with confidence, knowing that if circumstances beyond anyone's control prevent the event from taking place, your registration is protected.
Please note: This protection applies only if the event is cancelled before it begins and does not cover participant-initiated cancellations.
Please see below for Athlete cancelation insurance.

Question 43

What is the Brokenagan 24 Endurance Run?

Accepted Answer

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!

5km Racers – A Quick Honest Note
I’m going to be straight with you…
It’s 6km.
Once we got our feet on the trail and measured it properly, well… this thing happened.
Trailforks lied.
You’re getting a bonus kilometre of beautiful singletrack at no extra charge. You’re
welcome.
It still carries the spirit of a 5km — approachable, spicy, super flow decent, and fun — just
with a little extra trail seasoning built in.

10km Racers - You are safe. It is 10km.
No surprise bonus kilometres. No math tricks. Just a solid, honest 10km of early-season
trail running with everything that makes it fun and a little bit spicy.

What to Expect on Course
Let’s be clear about what you’re stepping into, so you arrive prepared.
You will likely see:
• Mud
• Some packed dirt
• Light snow in shaded sections
• A properly spicy climb
• Some techy descents (10km course)
• Flowing singletrack
• Early season trail conditions
