Other trail races within 74 miles
An early-season 35 km loop from Capilano University (formerly Quest University) in Squamish, BC, with roughly 1,650 m of climbing on a mix of runnable and technical coastal singletrack. A sustained opening ascent passes a waterfall within the first few kilometres before opening to big views of the Tantalus Range, and the route links local classics such as Legacy, Megacy, STP, Hoods in the Woods, and Blaine's Connector, with two bridge crossings over Darwin's and Carpenter's Son creeks. A popular spring tune-up for summer ultra goals, it carries ITRA points (Mountain Level 5).

Held in early May, the race runs in Squamish's coastal temperate climate. Expect cool, damp spring conditions, with daytime temperatures typically around 8-16 C and a real chance of rain leaving trails muddy and root-slick. The longer loop spends more time on higher, more exposed terrain where it can be cooler and breezier, and conditions can shift quickly between sun and showers; trails are often wet from spring runoff.
Early-May coastal weather brings a real chance of rain and muddy, root-slick trails.
