  Grouse Mountain's Seek the Peak is back!

  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.

  The challenging 16 km course starts by the beach at Ambleside Park in West Vancouver, winds its way through North Vancouver, then heads up the legendary Grouse Grind to The Peak of Vancouver. With an impressive 1,400m of elevation, Seek the Peak will test your fitness, stamina and mental grit.

  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!

  Salomon Coast Mountain Trail Running (CMTR) hosts quality, challenging, professionally-run trail events in world class destinations around BC's Lower Mainland and Thompson-Okanagan regions.

  Buckin' Hell

  With almost 2500 meters / 8250 feet of climbing and descent through the rough and rugged North Shore Mountains of British Columbia, Buckin' Hell earns its name and reputation. The race starts and finishes at the Mount Seymour Resort, atop Mount Seymour, and runners begin by running straight up the mountain. After tagging a lower summit, runners will begin their 1200-meter descent down to the Seymour River far, far below. Along the way, competitors travel through remnants of old-growth forest, mixed in with modern-day bike trails, woodwork, and seemingly never-ending technical terrain underfoot. Don’t leave it all out there on the descent, as you still have to climb back on up the opposite side of the mountain to finish this thing off! Buckin' Hell is an absolute showcase of some of the best trails and vantage points that Vancouver's North Shore has to offer.

  Start and finish in the scenic ski resort area of Mt Seymour Resort. Plan to stick around for our lively Beer Garden in partnership with Bridge Brewing. And don't forget — finish line pizza is included with your registration!

  Distance options of a 35K course, a 50K ultra distance, and a 50K two-person relay. Featuring local favourite trails such as the Baden Powell, Mystery Lake, Neds, Severed, Brockton Lookout and the eponymous Old Buck trail, this is one of the most technically challenging 50km races you'll come across!In addition to the classic race-branded beer glass, every runner will also get a pair of these stylish red runners' gloves, also branded with the Buckin' Hell logo.

  Registration closes at 600 participants.

  $5 from every registration goes towards our adoption of Bridle Path Trail via the North Shore Mountain Bike Association. Additional donations welcome. As well, one tree will be planted locally for every registration, in partnership with a Fraser Valley Indigenous Lands rehabilitation project.

  Our Kids Race is a ~1km run designed for ages 3-10 with special kids' bibs and finisher stickers. Registration is free and is available online or on race morning. During registration, we offer parents the opportunity to donate to Butterfly Network, a local organization that supports families dealing with pregnancy and infant loss.

  NOTE: Most CMTR events now offer ITRA points; UTMB points are no longer available
