25k 50k Run Trail

Hornby Island 50k & 25k

Experience one of BC’s most beautiful trail races! The Hornby Island 50K and 25K showcase the island’s incredible mix of forest singletrack, ocean views, and flowy ridgelines that make this place a trail-running paradise.

The 50K (route) is a full island tour with roughly 1,400 m of elevation gain, weaving through mossy forest, rugged coastal bluffs, and fast, runnable sections that keep you smiling (and sweating).

The 25K (route) offers a taste of the same magic - steep climbs, lush forest, and sweeping views - perfect for anyone looking for a challenging but approachable distance.

Both courses are fully marked and supported by our legendary volunteers. Afterward, stick around for a relaxed island-style celebration with food, community, and good vibes by the sea.

Come for the trails, stay for the Hornby Island experience.

Start Time

8:00am - 50k

    Devil’s Ladder Ultra is an epic trail race that features world-class singletrack in a spectacular rainshadow forest ecosystem – Welcome to Cumberland, B.C., Canada.

    Not ready to take on an ultramarathon just yet. Maybe “your feet hurt”, “you’re too busy to train” or “you’re just not a morning person.” No worries, we have options for everyone 😉

    Devil’s Ladder Ultra has three race distances to choose from, including the 15k Fun Run, the Dirty 30k, and the Full Send 50k. All three distances will take place in the Cumberland Forest and will treat runners to challenging climbs, flowy singletrack, and quad-smashing downhills. You aren’t going to want to miss this one!

    The fun doesn’t stop when you cross the finish line. The start and finish for all three races will be located at Village Park in Cumberland. We plan to take advantage of this amazing value by providing all-day music, delicious post-race food for our racers, and a beer garden that will all be conveniently located close to the finish line so you can help us cheer on each and every racer.

    We are doing everything we can to set the stage for an unforgettable experience for our racers, volunteers, and spectators. Join us for an incredible day of running and camaraderie on July 11, 2026

    Description

    The 7th annual 'CVRR Backyard Ultra' will take place on Saturday, July 25, 2026 at the Comox Valley Exhibition Grounds. Don’t let the word ULTRA stop you. This is an event for everyone.

    Beginning...

    The 7th annual 'CVRR Backyard Ultra' will take place on Saturday, July 25, 2026 at the Comox Valley Exhibition Grounds. Don’t let the word ULTRA stop you. This is an event for everyone.

    Beginning every hour, exactly on the hour, you will run the marked 6,706 meter route through the forests and fields of the CV Exhibition Grounds. All runners begin each subsequent lap exactly at the top of the next hour (not before or after) until they are no longer willing or able to continue this pattern.

    When you are no longer willing to do another 'yard', you can relax and enjoy the entertainment as others continue to click off their laps.

    *In the spirit of keeping our Comox Valley Backyard Ultra a fun, community-centric event, this year we will impose a maximum of 30 yards/30 hours for all runners. If more than one runner crosses the line after completing 30 yards, at 15:00 on Sunday, July 26, the finisher will be determined by a tie-breaking Mystery Challenge at the Start-Finish area.

    There is only one finisher for this event

    You might ask 'why this strange distance?' The distance of 6.706 km equals a 'yard' and 24 yards of this distance equals exactly 100 miles over 24 hours.

    *The BYU committee has made efforts to be accurate with our route's distance but each yard may not be exactly 6.706 km. Roll with it.

    TEAM CATEGORY: Although this is a solo event, you can register as part of a 3-5 person team. All team members start together at the race start and individually run as many laps as each member can. At the end, we will tally up the teams' total laps to see which team ran the most yards. There will be awards for the most yards completed by a team, the best costumes and special team draw prizes. Team members don't have to run the same number of yards. Gather your friends and register now as a solo runner or as a team. It's better to suffer together!
