The WILDness 2026

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.

For similar mountain events, see BC races, trail races and ultra races.

The 2026 WILDness course is split across two mountain stages. Stage 1 runs Saturday, June 27 and is listed at 31.3 km with about 2,360 m of elevation gain, a start time of 8:00 AM and a 12-hour cutoff. Stage 2 runs Sunday, June 28 and is listed at 13 km with about 820 m of elevation gain, an 8:00 AM start and a 4-hour cutoff.

The event also includes a 5K fun run on a mix of pavement and trail. Runners should expect technical mountain terrain, sustained climbing and resort-base logistics at Panorama Mountain Resort.
