About this race

Unlimited Stages • Half Marathon • Relay • Kids' Race

New Obscura-style race format for 2027 for distances of 21.1km to over 160km!

Black Spur Ultra is wrought from the winding, technical single track that trail runners dream about. No pavement, big climbs through rugged terrain, immaculate trails, and stunning scenery. Hosted at Kimberley Alpine Resort, you can walk to the start line right from your hotel room.

This year, we are introducing the Obscura series and a new format to the race. If you register for the Ultra – Unlimited Distances, you can run as many of the stages as you want within the 24-hour cutoff. You can also register for the Half Marathon alone, which is the first stage of the race. We still have the relay team of 6 option, which follows the original 6-stage format. Check out the Obscura series info here.

Kimberley is a secluded gem nestled between the Purcell and Rocky Mountains. With an extensive network of single and double-track trails accessible right from the edge of town, Kimberley is a natural choice for a mountain ultra.

The community is genuinely friendly and welcoming, with a spirit that embraces outdoor adventure. Kimberley Alpine Resort is a world-class venue that is set up to host large groups, and it is perfectly situated on the trail network.

Be sure to check out the Racer Information Package for full race details.
