The Squamish 50 races are TOUGH, truly unforgettable trail running experiences. With our marquee 50 mile race boasting over 85% singletrack and more than 11,000 feet of climbing and descent, topped off by stunning sweeping vistas across glaciated snow capped peaks that jut straight out of the Pacific Ocean, these courses are sure to take your breath away.
We’ve put together a variety of events that highlight the absolute best running terrain in Western Canada. Come discover what makes Squamish such a highly sought-after adventure destination.
NOTE: For 2021, we will not be hosting a 23km distance event.

Cancellation / Transfer Policy
We are a small events company. We love our runners and want to accommodate wherever possible, so we offer the following policies.
There are no waitlists. Once we are sold out, that's it. Please consider joining us as a volunteer to attain early entry into the following edition of SQ50.
Bibs are not transferrable to another runner under any circumstances.
Entries are not deferrable to a future race.
Up to July 1, anyone dropping out will receive a 50% refund of entry fees.
Up to Sept 30, you can drop down to a shorter distance event. No credit or refund is available if dropping down in distance. We cannot move anyone up to a longer distance event.
In the event that the race cannot operate due to complications of the Covid-19 pandemic, all registered participants will receive a 100% deferral into the 2022 event.
For events that are cancelled for reasons beyond our control, including acts of nature, war, strikes, access issues or other unforeseeable circumstances, or similar cause beyond the control of the organizers, Coast Mountain Trail Running carries event cancellation insurance to be able to offer runners full refunds in such an unlikely event. Unfortunately, as we've discovered, pandemics are not covered by either event cancellation coverage, or the optional participant coverage (available during registration). See full details.
Thank you for your understanding and adherence to our race policies. We look forward to seeing you on race day!
The Squamish 50 team.
