The WILDness 2026 is a mountain trail weekend at Panorama Mountain Resort in British Columbia. The event is built around a 1- or 2-day racing format: a longer Saturday stage, a shorter Sunday stage, a full two-day option and a 5K fun run.

Saturday focuses on climbing, ridgelines, talus and forested mountain terrain. Sunday keeps the distance shorter but still climbing-focused, with an all-climb/all-descent route and a timed ascent segment.
