Cultus Lake, British Columbia

Vedder Mountain Challenge

May 24 - 25, 2025

Conquer the Vedder is a new multisport race with a twist, in its third year in 2024. We only allow standup paddleboards and the course favours gravel bikes. Courses are entirely flagged with zero navigation undertaken by participants.

Both of us – Gary Robbins and Geoff Langford (the RD’s behind CMTR) – got our starts in the adventure racing / multisport world, so it gives us great pleasure to finally be presenting a genuinely unique multisport racing concept that we’ve been working on for a few years now.

Cultus Lake and Vedder Mountain offer unparalleled trail and water access. There are hundreds of kilometers of singletrack trails all over Vedder Mountain, and Cultus Lake is a favourite summer destination for watersport lovers.

Many in the trail running world have dipped their toes in the SUP and Gravel Biking scene over the last few years, and we look forward to presenting you with a great option to either put all your new sports gear to the test, or to link up with a few friends from different sports scenes to have a blast as a relay team!
