Knee Knackering North Shore Trail Run

Knee Knackering North Shore Trail Run

The Kneeknackering North Shore Trail Run, established in 1989, is a 30 mile ultramarathon trail run in that takes place in British Columbia, in the Greater Vancouver area. Due to its popularity, the field is limited to 200 runners, selected by lottery. The route, comprising about 16,000 feet of vertical climb and descent, follows the Baden-Powell Trail, and traverses the North Shore Mountains from Horseshoe Bay to Deep Cove.

Course

Both ends of the Baden Powell trail course are close to sea level, with a high point of 4,016 feet (1224 m) at the peak of Black Mountain. The course follows a scenic and very technical trail through a Pacific Northwest rain forest. Most of the trail is within the forest, and there are some spectacular vistas at a number of points along the way, particularly at Eagle Bluff.

Records

The course record is held by Kevin Titus, who posted a mark of 4:42:37 in 2003. The women's record holder is Suzanne Evans, who clocked 5:18:57 in 2006.
