This Spectacular 16km route will start at the Lions Bluff trailhead, climbing 1200m up to the CBC tower, traversing Nelson’s iconic Elephant Mountain, then descending down past Flagpole and Pulpit Rock to Johnstone Road. You’ll finish off with a run/walk across the Orange Bridge into Lakeside Park. It’s approximately 13km of well marked trail and 3km of road.
This challenge is open to all hikers and runners.
We will not have any water at the top this year because of access, so please carry enough till you reach the Pulpit Rock trailhead on Johnstone Rd. We will have a checkpoint at the top of the climb with some basic first aid if needed. We will have NO paper cups as we are trying to have minimal waste.
