Distances: 35km, 50km, 50km two person relay

I have signed up for the 35 km (1700 m ascent/descent) run. It would be good to pair up with other trail runners from BCMC who might be participating in this event in any of the categories. We can do some training runs together and maybe get some tips from experienced trail runners in the club.

As of March 7, there are still spots available and you can register here -

More on Buckin' Hell event from the website - https://trailrunning.ca/race/buckin-hell/

With almost 2500 meters / 8250 feet of climbing and descent through the rough and rugged North Shore Mountains of British Columbia, Buckin’ Hell earns its name, and reputation. The race starts and finishes at the Mount Seymour Resort, atop Mount Seymour, and runners begin by running straight up the mountain from there. After tagging a lower summit, runners will begin their 1200 meter descent on down to the Seymour River far, far below. Along the way competitors travel through remnants of old growth forest, mixed in with modern day bike trails, woodwork and seemingly never ending technical terrain underfoot. Don’t leave it all out there on the descent as you still have to climb back on up the opposite side of the mountain to finish this thing off! Buckin’ Hell is an absolute showcase of some of the best trails and vantage points that Vancouver’s North Shore has to offer.
