Event overview
BC Athletics presents the 16th annual Whistler 50 Relay and Ultra at Whistler Olympic Plaza, Blackcomb Way, Whistler, BC. The event is held on the shared unceded territory of the Squamish Nation and the Lil’wat Nation.
Two main formats are offered:
- 50 km solo - five 10 km loops, must finish under 9 hours 30 minutes
- 50 miles relay - team of 4 (each 20 km) or 8 (each 10 km)
The solo 50 km is described as a beginners ultra and the course layout keeps participants within 5 km of the race site at all times. Relay teams are organized so each loop is 10 km; team captains create teams and distribute access codes for members.
Packet pickup is scheduled on dates before the event at Fit First Footwear locations in Burnaby and Kitsilano and at Whistler Olympic Plaza; specific pickup locations and dates are provided by the organizer.
No refunds are issued by BC Athletics unless the optional Race Roster Enhanced Refund Protection was purchased at registration. Entries may be transferred to another person for a CA$10 transfer fee; transfers must be completed by September 30 and must remain in the same sub-event. BC Athletics may cancel or change the route for safety, air quality, wildfire, weather, pandemic, or other reasons; in some cancellation scenarios entries are moved or offered reduced-value deferral credit.
Fundraising for the event includes support for the Whistler Food Bank; CA$2,793.45 has been raised toward a CA$3,000 goal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
