YYC Sub Ultra Trail Run

The YYC Sub Ultra Trail Run takes place at Nose Hill Park in Calgary on Sunday, August 29, 2027. A Sub Ultra is defined as a trail race shorter than a marathon.

Distances offered:

  • 34 km
  • 17 km (Wild Rose Women's 17 km is women only)
  • 6.2 km
  • 2 km Kids event (untimed)

The course is described as expertly designed and well marked. Elevation gains are listed as 500 m for the 17 km course and 1000 m for the 34 km course. On-course medical and safety support is provided and official chip timing is used by Startline Timing. Each participant receives a racer bib and a YYC Sub Ultra swag item (for example hat, water bottle, or socks).

Race-day elements include a finisher arch, music, and a race announcer. A dairy-free sticky bun from Kashew Bakery is provided after the race. Finisher medals and event t-shirts are available for purchase.

Package pick up is available at Bow Cycle and Sports on August 28 and at the Nose Hill Park parking area on August 29. The 2 km kids event is untimed; a free finisher medal is available for children who register before August 1, 2027, and no awards will be given in the children's division.
