Race the North Face Brandon Hills

August 29th 2026
Brandon, MB
50 KM

The Brandon Hills are a well kept secret, with over 90% gnarly single-track and unrelenting hills, to long climbs up "The Spine" - a 2.5km long ridgeline which rises above the forest giving absolutely stunning 360 degree views of the prairies below. This is all made possible by a massive glacier deposit which formed this area many years ago. Please note that The Spine is on private property and requires permission prior to accessing.

All three distances are challenging in their own rights with the 10km being a great introduction to true trail running (you know, rocky, rooty, climbing and descending all those fun things!). The 25km shows competitors all the Brandon Hills have to offer, including running The Spine, with it being a full loop of the area. The 50km Ultra is 2 loops so you know what kind of hurt is in when you take on round 2... the views are worth it, right?
