Death Race

The Death Race is a challenging ultramarathon held annually in Grande Cache, Alberta, Canada, set against the stunning backdrop of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The main event features a grueling 118 km course that starts and ends on a 4,200-foot plateau, crossing three mountain summits and including over 17,000 feet of elevation change. A notable highlight is the major river crossing at Hell's Gate canyon, where the Smoky and Sulphur Rivers meet. The race tests athletes' endurance through varied conditions such as heat, cold, and altitude. Additional events include a marathon, relay, and kids' race, making it a comprehensive mountain running experience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
