Diez Vista
Diez Vista is an established trail ultra held around Sasamat Lake and Buntzen Lake in Belcarra Regional Park near Port Moody, BC. The event offers these distances:
- 50 km
- Kids Race (~1 km)
The 50 km course runs on west coast rainforest singletrack, gravel service roads and lake shore paths with roots, rocks, mud and sections of well maintained trail. Runners encounter approximately 2000 metres of ascent and 2000 metres of descent as the route climbs and descends ridges, follows the Diez Vistas ridge, crosses suspension and floating bridges, and returns to White Pine Beach at Sasamat Lake.
Aid station structure and support are provided at multiple points on course. Water Station #1 is a water only point, Aid Station #2 is the first place to access calories, and Aid Station #3 accepts one athlete drop bag. Arrivals at certain midcourse aid stations are subject to cutoffs; runners who miss those cutoffs are recorded as DNF and offered transport back to Sasamat Lake. Drop bags must be labeled by the runner, sized to about a shoebox, and will be returned to the start area if unclaimed.
The event is cupless with no disposable cups at aid stations. Poles, pacers and pets are not permitted on course; leashed dogs are allowed only at some aid stations and are not permitted at the start finish. There is no mandatory gear list. Post race food for runners and volunteers includes sushi and a BBQ, with no alcohol allowed in the park.
Entry fee, entry limits and included items are published by the organizer; entries are limited and non refundable. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
