*2024 official race-day version* With almost 1700 metres / 5600 feet of climbing and descent through the rough and rugged North Shore Mountains of British Columbia, Buckin’ Hell 35K earns its name, and reputation. The race starts and finishes at Mt Seymour Resort, and runners begin by running straight up the mountain from there. After tagging a lower summit, runners will begin their 1200 meter descent on down to the Seymour River far, far below. Along the way competitors travel through remnants of old growth forest, mixed in with modern day bike trails, woodwork and seemingly never ending technical terrain underfoot. Don’t leave it all out there on the descent as you still have to climb back on up the opposite side of the mountain to finish this thing off! Buckin’ Hell is an absolute showcase of some of the best trails and vantage points that Vancouver’s North Shore has to offer.
