Oct 10 - Oct 11

The wildly popular Grizzly Ultra Marathon & Relay is comprised of 5 individual legs which all start and finish in the main stadium area at the Canmore Nordic Centre. The total distance is 50km with a total elevation gain of 1595 meters.

Each leg has been graded for difficulty by adding the elevation gain to the distance to arrive at a Grizzly Claw Rating. The most difficult Leg 3 is rated at 5 Claws while the easiest Leg 5 is rated at 1 Claw.

With individual legs rated for all abilities the Ultra Marathon makes for the perfect team event.

The former Olympic stadium hub serves as a sweet base camp from which to cheer on your team-mates.
