What Makes It Great

One lap of the iconic 50.3 km Lost Soul Ultra course through the river valley coulees of Lethbridge, Alberta. Runners tackle 16 significant hills with 1,200 m of elevation gain across singletrack, shale paths, and gravel roads alongside the Oldman River. The mostly sun-exposed course through the dry coulee landscape is deceptively challenging despite its prairie setting, with top finishing times just over 4 hours.
