Sunshine Shuffle, Whitehorse YT : May 30, 2026
The Sunshine Shuffle is a backyard ultra held at the Gunnar Nilsson and Mickey Lammers Research Forest in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada. The event takes place on May 30, 2026, during a time of year with about 19 hours of daylight.
Participants run a repeated loop of 6.7 km. The loop is mainly single track with short sections of gravel road and has roughly 100 m of elevation gain per lap (about 320 ft). Scenic stretches of the route overlook the Takhini River and provide views of the Coast Mountains.
As a backyard ultra, all runners cover the same loop multiple times for the duration of the event. The mix of single track and gravel affects pacing and route management. The location is described as a research forest with trail features that include lookout sections above the river.
Event information notes that this is the only backyard ultra held in the Yukon and specifies the race location as the Gunnar Nilsson and Mickey Lammers Research Forest in Whitehorse. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
