The Valley Vertikiller is a challenging trail race offering 10K, 20k, and 30K distances.
The 30K is a killer race with 1,700m of elevation gain. The 20K is a vertical beast with 1,100m. The 10km 'Cuddler is a flowy and fun route with just shy of 400m.
30k and 20k distances feature a grueling ascent up to the peak of Sumas Mountain, raging creeks and picturesque Chadsey Lake; and beautiful views of the Fraser Valley throughout the flowy and technical descent. With the majority of the courses on single-track trails, this race will definitely test your skills.
This race is brought to you, in part, by those dirtbags at the Abbotsford Trail Running Club, and FatDog 120 INC.
*As of September 28, 2021, new public health guidelines require that all participants show proof of double vaccination. Vaccine passports will be checked at registration.
Partial Proceeds from this race will go to Central Fraser Valley Search and Rescue, and Fraser Valley Mountain Bike Assoc.
