  VERTICAL KILOMETRE RACE Calling all crushers and people who want to bust a lung! Short, fast and fun; Vertical Vendetta is a wild loop race that will get your heart pounding. Hosted at Pass Powderkeg Ski Area in Crowsnest Pass, Alberta, runners will make four ascents of the famous lift line route for a total of 1,000 vertical metres, but with a slightly kinder way down. The average grade is 25%, so get ready to work your quads. The race is really simple – you run up and down the hill, on the prescribed course, until you reach the 1,000m elevation gain milestone. Then, festivities to follow. The race is going to have a really grass-roots vibe; we just want to get out there and have fun.

  Fernie Tears and Gears was inspired by two friends who loved to trail run (Abi) and mountain bike (Krista), but could never find an event to compete in together. Thus, Fernie’s first Mountain Duathlon was born in 2010 and was held annually until 2019 marking the race's 10th Anniversary. After a six year hiatus, Tears and Gears is back to raise funds for the newly established Abi Moore Scholarship Fund and to continue to encourage people to get out on our amazing trail network, have fun while doing it, support one another, and be a part of an inclusive and welcoming community.
