shuttles.
Broken Goat is a challenging remote high alpine point to point trail running race that requires racers to either shuttle to the start or arrange their own drop off. We have created shuttle options for the 50k & 25k racers for $5.00 per person and can be added to your race entry at the checkout.
All shuttles depart the parking lot at Red Mountain Resorts, just outside where the race briefing and start/finish area is. There are porta-potties provided up at Nancy Greene Summit. If you take the shuttle, we will be checking you in as a runner. If you shuttle to the start and decide for some reason not to start the race, please let a volunteer know asap. If you get your own ride up to Nancy Greene, please check in with us when you arrive.

aid stations.
Broken Goat 50k & 25k runners must be comfortable self-supporting themselves until they are in-between Grey MTN and Granite MTN, (approx. half way mark) due to the remoteness of this high alpine race. We go the extra mile to make our aid stations fun, energetic and happy places to visit during your race journey. Some of our racers have even been known to grab some props and pose for a photo or two. The 25k & 50k runners have mandatory fuel/hydration requirements they much meet before they start.

mandatory gear.
The Broken Goat 50k & 25k events are demanding and should only be undertaken by athletes in good physical condition. Weather in the mountains is variable and you need to be prepared varying temperatures, as temperatures and wind conditions can be markedly different up high and the temperature can drop dramatically. Think in terms of being stuck - if you are forced to spend extra time out in the weather, you will be much better off if you have carried extra clothing to help you keep warm. A sprained ankle for instance could mean a long, slow painful limp into the nearest aid station, possibly in cold rain. Hypothermia can be very dangerous, especially on tired bodies with no reserves left for generating heat.
All 50k & 25k runners must carry the following gear with them at all times:
- Lightweight jacket for variable weather and cold temperatures. Please note: ponchos are NOT accepted.
- Toque, gloves
- Emergency blanket.
- Course map (race organizers will provide a copy in your package pick up).
All 50k & 25k runners must *start* the race with the following fuel & hydration requirements:
- Hydration pack or 2 large handheld water bottles equalling a minimum of 1.5 litres.
- Minimum 400 calories.
- For anyone who makes their own food, please note we will be looking for volume comparable to recognizable items. For example, if you make your own energy balls or energy bars - we will be comparing to a traditional "power bar" that has approx. 200 calories per bar. You will need to provide a quantity of homemade bars equivalent in size/volume to a traditional energy bar. Please don't show up and try to convince our team that 1 energy ball has 400 calories in it :) Air on the side of caution and bring more than you think.
Please note: This is for your safety and race organizers reserve the right to adapt or change the mandatory list/rules last minute. Please ensure you attend the mandatory race briefing for any last minute changes. Thank you for your cooperation.
