About This Race
The 25K strikes a compelling middle ground at Ultra Trail Whistler, offering runners a substantial mountain challenge without the full commitment of the ultra distances. This distance provides enough time on the technical terrain to experience the true character of Whistler's trails—including sustained climbs and demanding descents—while remaining accessible to runners stepping up from shorter trail races. The course allows for a strong, steady effort throughout, making it ideal for those seeking to test their mountain running skills over a challenging but manageable distance.
