The relay comprises an 8-person format, with alternating legs of approximately 12K and 8K, centered around Whistler Village and the picturesque Valley Trail system. The 50 mile (80K) total distance is an achievable goal for novice ultra-marathoners, while still being a recognized qualifying distance for National Team selection.
Enjoy the pre-race social on Friday night. And the Saturday night post-race dance will be at the Whistler Conference Centre. Make it a weekend.
A selection of hotels are available for booking, with rooms starting from $99/night. All hotels are within steps of the start/finish and post-race activities.
BC Athletics acknowledges the support of Tourism Whistler and the Resort Municipality of Whistler in helping make this possible. Partial proceeds will go to supporting food banks in Squamish, Whistler, and Pemberton.
We hope to see you there. The Whistler 50 — more than just a relay.
