25K Crew Challenge:

Team, club, crew, posse, squad, call it what you will, it’s your trail family, and we totally get it.  That’s why we want to celebrate it with a Crew Challenge.

Here’s how it works:

• One person on your Crew will need to register as the Crew Capt.  That person will create a super secret password that other members on the Crew will input when they register.
• 5+ friends register as part of the Crew and let the fun begin. Your Crew can have 6, 13 or even 20 members running, but only the times of the top 5 will count for the challenge.
• The Finish Time of the Top 5 Runners from each Crew will be used to tabulate that Crew’s overall time.
• The 3 fastest crews (Top 5 Runners per Crew Only) will be eligible for prizes and bragging rights.

Pre-race Briefing Highlights

• Stay on the designated trails
• Leave no trace
• Take care of each other
• No earphones
• No dogs, for safety reasons
• Racers must sign in so we know they are on the course

Please review the Full Race Regulations prior to the Race.

First Aid

Central Fraser Valley Search and Rescue will be on site along with multiple First Aid attendants.

Two aid stations are located throughout the race as marked on the map. Each station will have water and fuel including gels, fruit and other snacks and drinks.

For full details, see course information

Cupless

This is a cup free event, meaning you’ll need to pack along your own source for fluids at aid stations and at the finish line.

Here are two suggestions: A packable style bottle, or a homemade version in which you simply lop the top off of an empty kids juice box.
