Celebrate the longest day of the year with an epic challenge: how many times can you conquer the Grind? From dawn to dusk on Friday, June 20th, push your limits alongside other Grinders and raise vital funds for North Shore Rescue. Whether you're in it for the personal best, the friendly competition, or the cause — it’s a day to go all in.
This is the official and only sanctioned event to determine the record-holder for most ascents of the Grouse Grind in a one-day period. With new Blue Grouse Gondola now open, descending the mountain will be quicker and easier than ever for participants. That means time for more Grinds — and a real shot at smashing records at this year’s Multi Grouse Grind Challenge!

Keep up the fundraising! So you've met the $100 minimum, but no need to stop there! A prize will be awarded to the participant who has raised the most money for North Shore Rescue.
Each Participant Receives:
- 1 x Event Participant Gondola Tickets, valid for all day on Friday, June 20th.
- 2 x Multi-Use Gondola Tickets, valid for multiple trips to and from the mountain all day on Friday, June 20th. Give these tickets to your biggest support people or cheerleaders so they can help take care of you on race day.
- 1 x Event Bib with RFID Race Chip
- Aid Station Access - all participants will receive access to aid station snacks and drinks throughout race day. Product offerings will vary throughout the day based on supply. Please note that this is to supplement your meals, not replace them - to ensure that you have everything you need on race day, we strongly encourage you to pack all your favorite foods to keep you fueled as well!
As part of Grouse Mountain's wider sustainability initiatives, we're working to reduce waste at our events. This year, our race events will be going cupless, meaning we are eliminating the use of disposable cups at aid stations. All participants will receive access to aid station hydration throughout the day, however we ask that you carry your own refillable hydration vessel.
HydraPak SpeedCups are a great re-usable alternative to disposable cups for those who do not wish to carry a bottle or hydration vest and are available to purchase from the Multi Grouse Grind Challenge store at a reduced rate.
