Hidden Oasis Ultra

Hidden Oasis Ultra is a trail ultramarathon organized by the Cypress Hills Adventure Running Society (CHARS), a local non-profit group. The 2026 edition is set for June 13, 2026, in the Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park in Alberta.

The event features an approximate distance of 50 kilometres and lists solo and team entries, with indications of "100 Solos" and "50 Teams" for participation. The course follows park trails and reaches the park high point at 1466 meters, described as the highest point between the Rocky Mountains and Labrador.

The schedule includes activities on the day before the race such as packet pickup, a welcome meal, and a race meeting. Race day is followed by a post-race social and an awards presentation. Aid stations and volunteer posts are provided along the route.

Volunteer roles range from staffing remote aid stations to assisting at the start and finish area. Organizers state that each assignment will have at least two volunteers and that they will attempt to assign roles according to individual preferences. The event also lists various sponsorship options, including direct funding, transition station sponsorship, and sponsoring specific race legs.
