High Alpine running in beautiful West Kootenay region.
One of BC’s hardest ultra’s, Broken Goat is much more than a challenging mid-summer race. It’s a party. A high alpine party where you’ll want to invite all your friends! Broken Goat 12km is a challenging route that 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 follows the same start as the 41km course and includes the summit of Mount Plewman and traverses along the beautiful high alpine “7 Summits” trail and over Unnecessary Ridge. 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 and scenic ultras. This is a point to point route which takes place on the beautiful “7 Summits” high alpine trail and accesses several peaks & ridges along the way while soaking up 360 degree views of the surrounding mountains. 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.

Mandatory Gear & Gear Check
Broken Goat is a remote point to point race and all racers must be prepared for varying temperatures. Think in terms of being stuck: If you are forced to spend additional time out in the elements, you will be much better off if you have extra clothing & fuel to help. A sprained ankle could mean a long, slow painful limp into the nearest aid station, possibly in cold rain. Hypothermia can be very dangerous, especially on tired bodies with no reserves left for generating heat. Aid station #1 is at approximately 22 km into the 52 km race & 16 km into the 25 km race.

12 km Runners must start the race with the following fuel & hydration requirements:
- Hydration pack, handheld water bottles or flasks equalling a minimum of 1 litres
- Food equating to a minimum 200 calories

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 2025.
