What Makes It Great

The 50K covers highlights of the full 100K course, tackling both Whistler and Blackcomb mountains in a single day. Starting at Creekside Gondola, runners climb Whistler Summit before descending toward the valley base and ascending Blackcomb past Rendezvous Aid Station, finishing at Spruce Grove Park. With nearly 3,720 meters of gain over 51 kilometers, this is a demanding mountain race that earns 2 UTMB Running Stones. No crew assistance or drop bags are permitted at any point on course.
