With almost 2600 meters / 9000 feet of climbing and descent through the rough and rugged North Shore Mountains of British Columbia, Buckin’ Hell earns its name!

The race starts and finishes oceanside in the stunning Panorama Park, Deep Cove and runners ascend Mount Seymour while travelling through remnants of old growth forest before topping out over 4000ft above to enjoy magnificent mountain views.

Buckin’ Hell is an absolute showcase of some of the best trails and vantage points that Vancouver’s North Shore has to offer!

START/FINISH in the stunningly beautiful Deep Cove! Distance options of a 15km short course, with 900 meters of climbing and descent, and a 50k ultra distance and two person relay race.

Local favorite trails such as the Baden Powell, Dales, Neds, Severed, Old Buck and Brockton Lookout.

This is one of the most challenging and technical 50km races you’ll come across!
