Race overview
The Knee Knackering North Shore Trail Run is an annual 30 mile foot race along the Baden-Powell Centennial Trail, running from Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver to Deep Cove in North Vancouver, BC, Canada. The course climbs about 8,000 feet and descends about 8,300 feet, and includes steep sections such as the first climb up Eagle Bluffs, which gains 900 m in under 5 km.
The event is organized by the Northshore Ultra Trailrunning Society, a non profit society incorporated in British Columbia. The race field is selected by lottery and the expanded field comprises 262 runners. The event began in 1989 as a group run of eight participants and expanded rapidly; by 1994 a race limit of 125 runners was in place.
The course travels over mountain terrain on Metro Vancouver’s North Shore and offers city, mountain and ocean views. The organisers describe the entry process, course map, aid stations, cutoffs and other race details on the event pages. Since its inception the race has raised $204,000 for various charities. The event has been listed by Running Wild magazine as one of 25 toughest races in North America. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
