12km. 510m ascent.
Runners will start off at Myra Adventure Park and head straight up a rough 1km trail to Myra Canyon B&B and towards June Springs parking lot. Runners can access the aid station in the parking lot before continuing on Myra Bailout trail and climb up to the turn off for Angle Springs. This is a super technical and fun descent... one of the nicest single track trails in the area!
Once you reach the bottom of Angel Springs you'll travel along beautiful trails that criss-cross Mission Creek 4 times and you will travel across a few fun bridges. This time of year the creek is pretty dried up so keeping your feet dry shouldn't be a problem. The trails in this section are stunning and the fall colours will surely motivate you!
There is an out and back to the aid station before you start your final ascent up some old school single track trails and steep climb to finish line! The aid station is at approx. 10km, so please ensure you are self sufficient up to this distance. Due to the remoteness and technical difficulty of the terrain we are unable to access aid any sooner in the course.

21km. 712m ascent.
Runners exit Myra Canyon Park and run down June Springs road for approx. 900m until they reach the turn off on a short logging road that will take them into beautiful Myra Bellevue Provincial Park! A favorite on this side of the park, runners will flow along Pipers and over to Lost Lake before taking grassy trail and then turning left on outhouse trail which is fun and flowy single track.
Runners will hit a short piece of FSR (Hromek) down to Bailout trail, which requires a sharp right hand turn! Bailout trail will be filled with beautiful fall colours and rolling terrain all the way to June Springs parking lot. After accessing your first aid station, you'll push on up to the top of Angel Springs trail where you will be in for a treat. A rocky, rooty, technical and super fun descent! There is an out and back to your 2nd aid station where you'll get one more chance to fuel up or smash some coke before the final set of steep climbs that lead you up to the finish line. A memorable and rewarding 21k course!
