Prairie Goat VK

Springfield, Canada • 10 Aug 2025

The Prairie Goat VK is a challenging vertical kilometer race held at SpringHill Winter Park in Springfield, Manitoba, on August 10, 2025. Participants tackle a demanding 400-meter loop featuring a rapid descent and a steep climb, accumulating 1,000 meters of elevation gain and descent per lap. The goal is to complete as many laps as possible—up to 30—within a four-hour cutoff.

The event fosters a strong community atmosphere with aid stations offering water, electrolytes, and snacks, free course photos, and a post-race BBQ. Awards include top finisher prizes and a special "GOAT" trophy for most loops completed. The race emphasizes inclusivity and accessibility, especially for Indigenous runners.
