Welcome
Race Date: July 9-11, 2021
Regrettably, Sinister 7 Ultra and Canadian Death Race, like many events, have been cancelled for 2020 due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
What to do now? We are hosting a number of challenging Virtual Races and the online North Star Trail Running Festival where we bring you a number of compelling speakers and clinics to help your running.
We are still working on how we can provide our third race, Black Spur Ultra, while meeting provincial requirements. Please stand by!
Welcome to the Sinister 7 Ultra — a race that may be the greatest challenge of your life. The 100-mile and 50-mile courses will take you through the most rugged, remote and beautiful terrain in Alberta's stunning Rocky Mountains. With 6,400m of elevation gain across the full course, this race will punish those who are not prepared.
The Sinister 7 is open to solo runners or teams of up to seven and racers have 30 hours to complete the grueling event. The course is split into seven stages, each featuring a geographic and historic highlight of the area. The race's name is inspired by the treacherous Seven Sisters Mountain that looms over much of the course.
New! For 2021 we are introducing a 50-mile course option for soloists. Full details will be released in late October. The 50-miler will be limited to 200 runners. We will also be introducing a "mini-triple" for those who do the short distance at each of our three ultras. Keep your eye on the Racer Information Package for upcoming details.
