Start freeThe Golden Ultra is a three-day stage trail running race or single-day ultra held on the mountain singletracks of Golden, British Columbia.
What this race demands
The Golden Ultra requires an athlete to sustain performance over a 60-kilometer trail running distance across three days of stage racing or a single-day effort on mountain singletracks.
Distance endurance
Covering 60 kilometers requires sustained aerobic endurance and the structural capacity to handle high impact over an extended time on foot.
Terrain adaptability
Racing on mountain singletracks demands technical footwork, ankle stability, and the ability to maintain rhythm on changing trail surfaces.
Multi-day recovery
For participants racing the three-day format, the ability to recover overnight and perform on consecutive days is essential.
Given the 60-kilometer distance will take most runners well over 2.5 hours, athletes should aim for a consistent intake of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to sustain energy output.
