Sunshine Shuffle

The Sunshine Shuffle is scheduled for May 30, 2026 at the Gunnar Nilsson and Mickey Lammers Research Forest near Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada. The event is organized as a backyard ultra, in which participants run the same loop repeatedly for the duration of the race.

Each lap is 6.7 km. The loop is primarily single track with a short section of gravel road. Each lap has approximately 100 m (320 ft) of elevation gain and includes stretches that overlook the Takhini River and provide views of the Coast Mountains.

The event takes place during a period with about 19 hours of daylight, which results in extended daylight conditions on course. The listed registration fee is CA$88.25 and the published registration window runs from April 1 to May 27, 2026.

The Sunshine Shuffle is described as the only backyard ultra in the Yukon and is held on trails within the research forest named for Gunnar Nilsson and Mickey Lammers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
