Whistler 50 Ultra

Whistler, Canada • 3 Oct 2026

Event Information

The Whistler 50 Relay and Ultra is presented by BC Athletics. This marks the 16th annual edition of the event.

The main format is a 50-mile relay open to teams of 4 or 8 people. Each member of an 8-person team runs one 10km loop. In a 4-person team, each member completes two consecutive 10km loops for a total of 20km.

The other format is a solo 50km ultramarathon. This course is described as a beginners ultra. It consists of 5 loops of 10km each, and the runner is never more than 5km from the main race site. The cutoff time for the ultra is under 9 hours and 30 minutes.

The event takes place at Whistler Olympic Plaza in Whistler, British Columbia, on the shared unceded territory of the Squamish Nation and the Lil’wat Nation.

A post-race party is held at the finish line, followed by an awards ceremony. A 5km shakeout run is scheduled for the following day.

Packet pickup is available at multiple locations, including Fit First Footwear in Burnaby and Whistler Olympic Plaza. The event supports the Whistler Food Bank through fundraising. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
