Join us on July 27 at the Hummingbird Lodge for the inaugural Raven Ridge Run, an exhilarating trail running race at Whitewater in association with the Nelson Running Club.
Whether you're a novice trail runner or are looking to push your limits, this race offers the perfect blend of challenge and adventure, all up in the beautiful alpine!
The 10km Route costs $25 to run and the 15km Route costs $35. All Race Registration Fees include a barbecue lunch at the Hummingbird Lodge following the race.
10km Route
Ideal for those seeking a shorter yet thrilling challenge, with 550m of elevation gain, this route will take you up into the alpine, offering the stunning views that make this race so special.
Starting at the Hummingbird Lodge, you'll make your way up the White Queen West Ridge Trail and back down the Silver King Trail to the Hummingbird Lodge.
Registration for the 10km run costs $25.
15km Route
For those ready to tackle a longer, more demanding course, the 15km route will push you to new heights, literally and figuratively, as you ascend to peaks and navigate through diverse terrain, reaching 865m of elevation gain.
Continuing past the 10km route turn-off, you'll soak up all of the views as you tackle the West Ymir Trail and Prospector Trail before taking the Summit Trail back down to the Hummingbird Lodge.
Registration for the 15km run costs $35.
