    Join us on Saturday, June 13, 2026 for one of the North Shore's most iconic endurance challenges, and be a part of Grouse Mountain's Centennial Year legacy

    while supporting Metro Vancouver Regional Parks Foundation. This year's race contributes to celebrating 100 years of history, and your participation helps mark a century of adventure, community, and outdoor adventure at Grouse.

    Take on the challenge solo or enter as a team of 2-4, splitting up the course into four legs. Either way, reaching the top is an achievement worth celebrating! After crossing the finish line, join us at our finish line party featuring DJ, BBQ, recovery zone, plus activities and giveaways from our event sponsors.

    As well as age category and fundraising awards, we'll also have special prizing for the Best Centennial Tribute, recognizing participants who creatively celebrate Grouse Mountain's 100-year milestone!
