It is with great regret that “Hill of A Race” scheduled for April 5/20 has been cancelled due to the COVID 19 virus. It will be rescheduled for July 18/20 at the same location. We can defer your entry fee to this new date or we can refund your entry fee. Please let us know which you prefer by responding to an email to be sent to you from Race Roster in the near future.


We hope you all stay healthy through these troubled times and hope to see you at our next event.


Sincerely,


Hill of a Race


We are excited to announce a new race under the Rivers Edge Ultra Running Series banner!

"Hill of a Race" is an event unlike anything seen in the Edmonton area. When's the last time you've powered your way up a groomed ski run in your runners? You heard correct. It will be held on the groomed slopes of the Rabbit Hill Snow Resort. And no, there will not be any skiers or snowboarders on the hill with you. You will have it all to yourself. It will be a challenging and exciting time for all levels of snow runners, walkers, crawlers and sliders.

Two types of races will be offered:


  • “A la Carte" will be four laps of an approximate 2.5K course up and down the ski slopes
    • 10 am start time


  • “All day Buffet" will be the same course and distance as "A la Carte" but with one huge twist...how many laps can you complete in six hours!
    • 10 am start time

Modeled after Rivers Edge Ultra, this is a fun charitable event to raise much needed funds for Olive Tree Projects which operates a maternity centre in Jacmel, Haiti. Olive Tree Projects was started over ten years ago by Sarah Wallace who worked for many years at Rabbit Hill Snow Resort while a student. All proceeds from this event will go to this wonderful charity.

Some of the event offerings:
  • Great aid station nourishment.
  • Cafeteria in the ski lodge will be open for spectators and those wanting something more substantial such as a beer!
  • A voucher redeemable for a one day life ticket for the 2020/2021 ski season at Rabbit Hill.
  • Draw to win a "Family Pass" for 2 adults and 2 children for the 2020/2021 ski season at Rabbit Hill valued at $759.
  • Handcrafted medals for all finishers


You will be making your way up and down groomed ski runs so extra traction under your runners may be required. Your call. Walking poles are permitted. Can't wait to see you at the hill !!!!

You can only register for this event online through our event page on Race Roster so register early in order to ensure your spot!!!
