Please complete this form if you
(or your club or association) host a
qualifying Canadian ultra event and you would like
a free listing on the Calendar of
Canadian ultra events.
We maintain this
calendar as a free service to people
around the world who are interested in
participating in ultra endurance sports
events in Canada. We hope that
by making it easy to find events, more
people will get outdoors and play. We also hope that a
listing on this calendar will help you, the
person who is hosting the event, get free
exposure which will lead to more people
entering your event.
As far as the calendar
goes, a qualifying ultra event is:
- an event located in
Canada
- an
"ultra" endurance sport event
What's an "ultra"? Depending on the
discipline, the definition is a bit open to
interpretation. It is generally
accepted that for a triathlon, an "ultra"
means greater than the 3.8K, 180K, 42.2K
Ironman distance. For a run, an
"ultra" is longer than the 42.2 kilometer
marathon distance. For a mountain bike
or road bike competition, an "ultra" is
longer than 180K and a swim ultra is longer
than 3.8K. It gets a bit hazy for
snowshoe races and other endurance sport
events that are not as main- stream.
If your event is a bit funky and you feel it
belongs on this calendar, tell us why in the
comments section below and we will gladly
list it.
