The Valley Vertikiller is a challenging point-to-point trail race offering both 16K and 25K distances.
The 25K, named in honor of the endangered Mountain Beaver, is a killer race with nearly 1,500m of elevation gain. The 16K, named after the Red-legged Frog, also an endangered species who inhabits Sumas Mountain, is a vertical beast with over 1,100m.
Both distances feature a grueling ascent up the peak of Sumas Mountain, raging creeks and the picturesque Chadsey Lake; and 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.
This race is brought to you by those dirtbags at Abbotsford Trail Running Club.
Partial Proceeds from this race will go to Central Fraser Valley Search and Rescue and other local charities.

Red-legged Frog - 16K Closed
Online registration closed-
Tiny and quick. The red-legged frog, also an endangered species who inhabits Sumas Mountain, scoots through forest by making long, low hops to outrun its pursuers. This shorter course starts out with the same killer climb as the 25K, and then rips right down to the finish. It’s a vertical beast with over 1,100m elevation gain, but is built for speed.
