Black Spur Ultra 2026

Black Spur Ultra 2026 returns to Kimberley Alpine Resort for a mountain-trail weekend in Kimberley, British Columbia. The event spans August 22–23 and brings together solo runners, relay teams, and families across multiple distances.

The marquee races are built around technical singletrack, steady climbing, and alpine terrain. The 108K and 54K both serve as UTMB qualifying courses, which makes the longer distances especially relevant for runners targeting mountain-ultra progression.

Race weekend is centered at the resort, with check-in, staging, and transitions all based on the same on-mountain hub. For runners looking for a technical trail event in southeastern BC, it is a focused, multi-day mountain race with a strong local identity.

The course is centered at Kimberley Alpine Resort, with start, finish, and transition based on the mountain venue. Terrain is technical singletrack and alpine trail, with sustained climbing and fast, technical descents.

Course support includes one aid station on each stage near the halfway point, plus water and snack food in the transition area. Listed time limits are 5 hours for the Half Marathon, 12 hours for the 54K, and 24 hours for the 108K.
