North Vancouver, British Columbia

Buckin’ Hell

July 26, 2025

With almost 2500 meters / 8250 feet of climbing and descent through the rough and rugged North Shore Mountains of British Columbia, Buckin’ Hell earns its name, and reputation. The race starts and finishes at the Mount Seymour Resort, atop Mount Seymour, and runners begin by running straight up the mountain from there. After tagging a lower summit, runners will begin their 1200 meter descent on down to the Seymour River far, far below. Along the way competitors travel through remnants of old growth forest, mixed in with modern day bike trails, woodwork and seemingly never ending technical terrain underfoot. Don’t leave it all out there on the descent as you still have to climb back on up the opposite side of the mountain to finish this thing off! Buckin’ Hell is an absolute showcase of some of the best trails and vantage points that Vancouver’s North Shore has to offer.

Start and finish in the scenic ski resort area of Mount Seymour Resort.

Distance options of a 35K course, a 50K ultra distance, and a 50K two-person relay. Featuring local favourite trails such as the Baden Powell, Mystery Lake, Severed, Brockton Lookout and the eponymous Old Buck trail, this is one of the most technically challenging 50km races you’ll come across!
