Course Description

Our 50k runners will begin their day in Creekside Plaza, knocking out the biggest climb out of the day, a 4,500' ascent up Whistler Mountain to the first Aid Station at Roundhouse. Leaving Roundhouse, runners will experience some of the most scenic views on the Harmony Lake Loop, before returning to Roundhouse for a second time.
After a resupply at Roundhouse at mile 11.5, runners will make their way to our Whistler Summit Aid Station, wrapping around Piccolo Summit, gifted with more spectacular views. Runners will climb about 2,400' on their journey up to Whistler Summit for another well deserved pit-stop.
Finally Whistler Summit Aid Station, runners are ready to start their descent off Whistler Mountain to the Middle of Nowhere Aid Station before making a 4.3 mile loop back to the same location and final Aid Station on the course. Leaving Middle of Nowhere - 2, runners will make their final descent to Creekside Plaza for a much deserved finish, celebration and rest!
