Relentless 24 - a 24-hour Trail Running Challenge
Looking for a race that pushes your limits? Relentless 24 is back in Canmore on June 21-22, 2025, inviting trail runners to take on a 24-hour endurance challenge through some of the Rockies' most demanding and scenic terrain.
Set at the Canmore Nordic Centre, the course takes runners over rugged mountain trails with steep climbs, forested paths, and technical sections that test both physical strength and mental grit. Whether you're running solo or as part of a relay team, the goal is simple: run as far as you can in 24 hours.
It's a tough challenge, no doubt - but also one of the most rewarding experiences out there. Runners often speak about the shared determination on the trail, and the incredible sense of accomplishment at the finish line - especially after navigating the highs and lows that come with running through day and night.
Relentless 24 is open to experienced ultra runners and adventurous first-timers alike. The atmosphere is supportive and energizing, with camping, support zones, and an engaged community cheering runners on throughout the race.
