Free. You can start with nothing.
Teams of up to seven share the 100-mile course, one runner per leg. Relay runners go the same way as the solo field with the same 30 hour limit, and the race asks relay runners to be at the transition area about an hour before their teammate arrives.
The race rates Leg 6, Crowsnest + Seven Sisters, 7 out of 7 and Leg 7 as 1 out of 7. The highest point is on Leg 6. The race says to expect wet feet on Legs 2 to 6, and a runner who cannot finish in 15 hours will be running in the dark. Expect hot, exposed stretches by day, cold at night, and bears, cougars and wolves in the area. The trail types are paved road, gravel road, double track, single track and high alpine.
A mountain ultra through the Rocky Mountains of Crowsnest Pass, Alberta, with a 100-mile, a 50-mile, a 50 km and a half marathon. The 100 miles are split into seven legs, each built around a landmark of the area such as the Frank Slide and Seven Sisters Mountain, and can be run solo or as a relay of up to seven people. Solo runners have 30 hours for the 100 miles. The race is named for the Seven Sisters mountain that looms over much of the course.
The first Sinister 7 was run in 2008. The course has changed over the years: an original course from 2008 to 2010, a 148 km course from 2011 to 2013, and then a 100-mile course. In 2022 the 100-mile course was run in reverse.

These are other people's work and we link straight to them. Watching costs nothing and needs no account. More of them: every race we hold, on film.
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.
