There are a few spots left in our Coffee Run. It’s a fun category because it’s 1 lap of our punchy and epically scenic course. Then you relax and enjoy watching the 3hr racers with coffee in hand, feeling accomplished.

You can race for the fastest time, run it as a casual jog, or even hike the course. Up to you!

Registration closes this week.

Don’t miss your chance to join this super grassroots event. Our medals are all locally woodcut and painted by hand, our prizes are from local businesses like Sea To Sky Gondola, Garibaldi Eye Care and SkiUphill-RunUphill Squamish, and our aid station is fully stocked thanks to Nesters Market.

Did we mention the word LOCAL? This event is as local and community-minded as it gets. You won’t find a race like this anywhere else but here.

NEW SPONSOR ALERT!

We’re so excited to welcome Next Gen Contracting as one of our newest Lap the Bluffs sponsors!

Next Gen is a Squamish-based contracting company that’s been building and renovating homes in the Sea to Sky since 2014. We can personally vouch for them. They did our home renovations and absolutely crushed it.

We LOVE having local businesses behind this race. Lap the Bluffs is a community event through and through, and support from businesses that live, work, build and play right here in Squamish is what makes it possible.

Huge thank you to the Next Gen crew for helping make Lap the Bluffs happen!

Here’s how it works.

You run as many 4.1km laps as you can in 3 hrs. You can start your last lap anytime before the 3hr mark. The person who runs the most laps in the least amount of time wins. Easy right?

Oh, and the lap has 180m elevation and some pretty techy sections.

Think you can beat out course records? If so, win a year membership to the Sea To Sky Gondola

Right now there’s only ONE mixed team on the 3hr relay start list…We could just HAND them their prizes I suppose…

WHO’S GOING TO CHALLENGE THEM??

SkiUphill-RunUphill Squamish

Bananas. Gummies. Chips. Grilled cheese. Pretzels. And beyond!

Nesters Market has sponsored Lap the Bluffs since year 1. Every year they send us a resounding YES when we ask if they’re in. They make it possible for us to keep our aid station totally packed with goodies and nums.

What snacks do YOU want to see at our aid station this year?? Comment below and we’ll try to make it happen.

Our kids race was a big success last year. It’s 1km. No registration needed. $10/kiddo, all goes to Smoke Bluffs trail maintenance.

Have you used the new stairs on The Loop trail? They’re so well built and they smell good too!

Great to connect with Squamish Trails Society! And thank you to our Lap the Bluffs volunteers for the heavy lifting. We hope the donuts helped 🍩

How lucky are we that our community values and maintains the incredible trail network that is the Smoke Bluffs.

Don’t miss early bird registration. Save $$ and spend it on cool running outfits instead.
