The Dirty Feet - Beat the Buzzer is a unique backyard ultra running event held in Kamloops, BC.

Participants can aim to run for less than 6 hours or push their limits to last longer. The competition continues until only one runner remains on course. Proceeds support the Kamloops Food Bank, making it both a test of endurance and a community fundraiser.
