The Valley Vertikiller is a challenging point-to-point trail race offering both 16K and 25K distances. The 25K is a killer with nearly 1,500m of elevation gain and the 16K is a vertical beast with over 1,100m. Both distances feature a grueling ascent up the peak of Sumas Mountain, raging creeks and picturesque Chadsey Lake, with beautiful views of the Fraser Valley throughout the flowy descent. With the majority of the course on single-track trails, this race is will definitely test your skills.

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.
