OverviewDate: July 18, 2026
Distance: 50k, 25k, 12k, kids race High Alpine running in the beautiful West Kootenay region & town of Rossland, British Columbia.
Known for its rugged terrain, epic mountain views, and festive atmosphere, it is considered one of BC's most challenging and popular trail races. Broken Goat 12km starts off at the base of Red Mountain Resort and quickly climbs up to the summit of Red Mountain. Runners can expect to run on some of the best single track Rossland has to offer! Mega views. Mega fun!
Broken Goat 25km is a point to point traverse along the beautiful "7 Summits" trail and Unnecessary Ridge and includes the summit of Mount Plewman. The majority of the course cruises at an average elevation of 2000m (6550ft) and showcases lofty ridge lines between Nancy Greene Summit and Red Mountain, offering 360 degree views. Broken Goat 50km is one of BC's most challenging, scenic and popular ultras. This is a point to point traverse which takes place on the beautiful “7 Summits” high alpine trail and accesses several peaks & ridges along the way, including the highest peak in the range - Old Glory at 2376m. Participants must be prepared for a long and strenuous journey in remote alpine terrain and also must be comfortable self-supporting themselves until they reach Grey Mountain 23km into the race. Kids Race: New course for 2026! The distance is 1km and all ages are welcome, however we typically see kids aged 5 to 10 participate. Kids under the age of 5 must be accompanied by an adult. It's fun event and not timed. Each kid gets a bib and finishers treat. The entry is $5 and 100% of the proceeds go towards the Canadian Mental Health Association, more specifically Georgia's Wish. Registration is online. |

All of our events are grassroots, with emphasis on special handmade, home grown touches. Things like apple pies, jams, handmade ceramic finishers medals, handmade stained glass and coffee roasted by the race director and her husband. We pride ourselves in ensuring that runners have an experience that feels more like coming home.
We have strong environmental and community values, and we always support local charities through donating a portion of our race fees back to the trail groups that build, maintain and advocate for the trails we are so privileged to enjoy.
We offer a diverse lineup of events, with 3 completely unique races hosted in the Okanagan Valley on top of Broken Goat, hosted in the high alpine mountains of the Kootenays. The terrain and landscapes are all varied and special, and not one race course will leave you feeling unsatisfied. They do have a few things in common though: They're all challenging, scenic and combine all the best trail networks each area has to offer.
We want to thank you for taking time to visit the PACE Trail Runs website and we hope to welcome you into the #pacefamily in 2026.
