Vertical Slam Ultimate Challenge
Cecil Lake, Canada • 6 Jun 2026
Vertical Slam Ultimate Challenge : Beatton River Valley
The Vertical Slam Ultimate Challenge takes place on the Beatton River Valley Viewpoint Trail in Cecil Lake, British Columbia, on June 6, 2026. The event is a fundraiser for local school food programs. Registration fees are non refundable.
Racing occurs on trail terrain with a rolling profile and notable elevation change that varies by distance. There are no official time cutoffs; some participants run while others hike.
Distances offered
- 5 km about 150 meters elevation gain
- 10 km about 450 meters elevation gain
- 21 km close to 1000 meters elevation gain
For 2026 the course uses a reversed configuration on some sections: the roughly 10 km route follows the half that the 21 km normally uses in its second half, and the 21 km finishes on the original 10 km route. Entry is limited and registration fees apply by distance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
