Free. You can start with nothing.
Eight legs from the Stake Lake parking lot: the 50km course run twice, with every leg ending back at the start/finish area. Run solo, or as a relay team. Solo finishers receive a belt buckle. Roughly 2,000 m of climbing.
Trail races at the Stake Lake Nordic Centre, south of Kamloops on Lac Le Jeune Road: a 100km, a 50km and a 25km by day, a 25km at night, and relay teams for the 100km and 50km. Every leg starts and finishes at the Stake Lake parking lot, so runners pass their own gear and drop bags every 10 to 15km. The trails mix singletrack, double track, hills, rocks and roots, with a couple of technical rock sections.
The Dirty Feet results pages list a Heartbreak 50km at Stake Lake on August 29 and 30, 2020, again on August 29, 2021, and as the Heartbreak Ultra at Stake Lake from 2022.

Parking. A large parking lot along the course for the 100km, teams and 50km runners to have your own pit area.
Nobody has been out there with a camera or a microphone yet. A gap means nobody has found it, not that it is not out there. Seen a course preview or a film of this one? Send us the link.
Nobody sees it until we have read it. No account, no sign-in.
This changes nothing on the page on its own. Somebody checks it against the race first.
Somebody watches it before it goes anywhere near this page. What we are after is footage of this course, on the ground. If it would be just as true of any other race, it is not this.
We want the address of the file the race publishes, not the file. We download it from there so the page can say where the line came from.
We read every one of these and we write back. Every fact here carries the source it came from, and the way a wrong one gets fixed is a person checking it against what you tell us.
Cutoffs move, races get postponed, lotteries open and close. We read the race's own sources and record where every fact came from. Put your email in and we will send you what changed, and where we read it.
No account, and nothing to cancel.
What happens to your email. Nothing else. I do not sell it, and I will not send you anything except this race changing. One click gets you out.
I keep this catalog because the information is scattered and hard to trust. Telling you when it moves is the same job.
