Welcome toThe North Face®Canadian Death Race

125 kms of extreme mountain trail, 3 mountainsummits, 17,000 ft of elevation change and a majorriver crossing. The race course snakes around thesmall town of Grande Cache, Alberta. The sceneryis as impressive as the challenge that lies ahead.Train hard... train very, very hard – this isCanada’s toughest race.

a dark myth

Haunting the trails is the dark, cloaked ﬁgure ofCharon, ferryman of the dead. As in the Greek myth,racers must carry one gold coin for safe passageacross the Smoky River. From person to person,summit to summit, the coin must be passed. Loseit and be condemned to wander forever, just as lostsouls once wandered the banks of the River Styx.

it’s a killer

This is an adventure race of epic proportions!Most of the course is very remote. The aid stationsare far apart. Much of the terrain is extreme. Readthe rules and the racer details package thoroughly.Know what you’re in for. Be prepared. You mustenter with total commitment.
