Black Lung Ultra Marathon

Back for the 3rd annual event, the 2026 Black Lung Ultra is set for September 12th, 2026. Nestled at the entrance of the David Thompson corridor through the Rocky Mountains lies the once bustling mining town of Nordegg, AB. With a rich history, excellent tourism opportunities and amazing hospitality, Coliseum S&E presents the opportunity to see Nordegg and her surroundings in all her beauty. A rugged 62km, 3 leg Ultra Marathon will test the best of the best. Named after the perils of working long shifts in coal covered darkness, The Black Lung Ultra Marathon will take you through a journey through history, along mountain ridges and through the friendliest community in Alberta.
