What to Bring?

  • Bring your own official timing system (a watch will do, even if the second hand doesn't work).
  • Bring some water and some bars or gels to eat. The climb in the last 4km is challenging!
  • Parking is free. Hopefully, you will join us for the finisher party at Caffe Artigiano at 11:30AM in whch case, bring money for food and coffee.
  • a change of clothes and maybe a towel. There are no showers, but there is a public washroom at the start where you can change

Post-Event

  • Come and join us for stories of the trail, some food and draw prizes after the event.
  • The official finisher party will be at the Caffe Artigiano 4359 Hastings St.  starting around 11:30AM (or whenever the first runners arrive).
  • Caffe Artigiano is conveniently located a short drive from the start.
  • Other Notes

It's not a race, but we do keep track of your times so you have something to compare to next year. We hope everyone will run the same course, but won't disqualify folks for getting lost and running extra distance.

This event is not sponsored, sanctioned, permitted or anything else that would qualify it as an official event.

Use this wonderful opportunity to look around at SFU's not-so-wonderful but certainly interesting Burnaby Mountain Campus, if you finally make it up here, before or after the race.

Expect rain, some trails, some pavement, some old friends and maybe some new.
