Salomon Coast Mountain Trail Running (CMTR) hosts quality, challenging, professionally-run trail events in world class destinations around Vancouver's North Shore and the Sea to Sky Corridor.
Survival of the Fittest
A fantastic loop from the incredibly scenic Capilano University (formerly Quest) lands in Squamish, BC. With a generous mix of climbing, descending, runnable and technical, these courses have it all. Views across the valley at the dominant Tantalus Mountain Range are presented via both distances.
Our 18 km option has seen all of the top local talent race it over the years, and as such the course records are incredibly stout. The 35 km option has become an early season favourite for those pursuing longer distances with their summer running goals.
Registration closes at 550 participants.
$5 from every registration goes to support Squamish Search & Rescue. Additional donations welcome. As well, one tree will be planted locally for every registration, in partnership with a Fraser Valley rehabilitation project.
Our Kids Race is a ~1km run designed for ages 3-10 with special kids' bibs and finisher stickers. Registration is free, and is available online, or on race morning. During registration, we offer parents the opportunity to donate to Butterfly Run, a local organization that supports families dealing with pregnancy and infant loss.

Deferral/Cancellation Policy
Bibs are not transferrable to another runner under any circumstances.
Once a race distance is sold out, that’s it – there will be no new spots, no waitlist, and no transfers.
Up to 30 days before race day, we can offer a 100% deferral of fees, towards another NOT YET SOLD OUT, Coast Mountain Trail Running event. **
Between 14 to 30 days before race day, we can arrange a 50% deferral of race fees, towards another NOT YET SOLD OUT, CMTR event. **
** Deferrals are only applicable for one calendar year from the race you transfer out of (meaning the race entry can be deferred to any OTHER race, but not the same race one year later). Entries can only be deferred a single time, to a single event.
Within 2 weeks of race day - No refunds. No deferral. No exceptions.
At any time, you can request to drop down in distance within the same event. There is no cost or refund for dropping down. We do not allow runners to move up in distance.
Full refunds can ONLY be processed for anyone who selects the optional refund insurance during registration.
In the event of cancellation of the event for reasons including, but not limited to, weather, forest fires, acts of nature, war, strikes or other circumstances, Coast Mountain Trail Running will provide a limited refund and discount towards the same event in the following year. See full details here.
Thank you for your understanding and adherence to our race policies. We look forward to seeing you on race day!
