Golden Ultra 2026

Golden Ultra 2026 is a three-day trail running festival in Golden, BC, set for September 11-13. Runners can choose stage-race formats or single-day distances across the weekend, with Friday, Saturday and Sunday race options built around Golden’s mountain setting.

Single-day options include Friday 3K and 5K races, Saturday 60K and 30K races, and Sunday 16K and 11K races. The Full Pint and Half Pint formats combine stages across the weekend.

For runners comparing mountain trail options, it fits alongside other BC trail races and ultra races.

Golden Ultra uses a mix of Golden’s local trail network, town venues and Kicking Horse Mountain Resort terrain. The weekend includes Friday mountain stages, Saturday longer trail ultras, and Sunday shorter single-day races from Keith King Memorial Park.

The official schedule lists Saturday starts from Spirit Square, with the 60K at 6:00 AM and the 30K at 8:00 AM. Sunday racing is based at Keith King Memorial Park, with Full Pint and Half Pint starts at 8:30 AM and 9:00 AM.
