Few places in the world have the unique combination of vert and technicality to offer both the Uphill and Classic Up / Down courses
Athletics Canada Mountain Running Championships
August 27 and 28, 2027
The courses for the Canadian Mountain Running Championships will be the same ones that we use for the Stoked VK (Uphill) and the Stoked Climb (Classic Up / Down).
However, there will be different start times for the championship events.
Only those who register for the championship event(s) will be eligible to start the championship heats and only those who run in the championship heat(s) and meet all other criteria below will be eligible for prize money and / or national team selection.
The Courses: Uphill and Classic Up / Down
The championship events will be held on different days (Friday and Saturday) so it is possible to compete in both events.
Eligibility requirements:
All participants in the Athletics Canada Mountain Running Championships must either be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident and must have an active Athletics Canada membership number.
Additionally, all particpants in the Athletics Canada championship event(s) must agree and adhere to Athletics Canada Championships Anti-Doping Requirements.
