The Knee Knackering North Shore Trail Run is a challenging 30-mile ultramarathon along the Baden-Powell Centennial Trail from Horseshoe Bay to Deep Cove in British Columbia.

What this race demands

The Knee Knackering North Shore Trail Run requires sustaining forward momentum across 48.3 kilometers of rugged terrain over 2438 meters of elevation gain.

Climbing and Descending

Accumulating 2438 meters of elevation gain over a 48.3-kilometer distance demands exceptional muscular endurance and structural resilience in both the ascent and descent phases.

Trail Durability

Navigating a continuous 30-mile ultramarathon trail route requires pacing discipline to manage fatigue over an extended duration of continuous off-road locomotion.

Given the extended duration of this ultramarathon, athletes should target an intake of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy output.
