ABOUT THE RACE

Explore Whistler’s most iconic terrain, from lush evergreen forest to shimmering alpine lakes and sweeping high‑mountain vistas. Every course is designed to showcase the region’s natural beauty while delivering a rewarding blend of challenge, technical sections, and varied terrain that keeps runners engaged from start to finish.

Ultra Trail Whistler by UTMB is set in the heart of Whistler, BC, a globally recognized destination where everything you need is just steps away. Lodging, dining, logistics, and activities for your support crew are all within the resort village, making race weekend smooth, immersive, and unforgettable - both on and off the trails.

Take on the raw beauty of the Coast Mountain Range as you ascend through technical climbs, traverse alpine meadows, and experience expansive mountaintop views. This is a course that demands grit and rewards it fully, with scenery that stays with you long after you cross the finish line.

The artwork was created by Chief Ray of the Squamish Nation. It was adapted to fit within the confines of the logo in collaboration with him, and you will see his signature featured on the side of the mountain range within the logo. Ultra Trail Whistler by UTMB has purchased the original artwork by Chief Ray, and it continues to hang in the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre (SLCC).

“In Whistler, Black Tusk is the perch of the Thunderbird. The Thunderbird was created to bring balance to the world and is the messenger of the Creator, a symbol of peace, power and unity. The moon is the one who brings light to the worlds when it’s dark, he is the grandfather who brings us calmness.”
