Wintergreen Ekiden Relay

Saturday, October 12, 2024
Wintergreen Golf & Country Club, Bragg Creek

The Wintergreen Ekiden Relay is one hell of a fun day at an iconic golf course near beautiful Bragg Creek. With delicious food on site to feed y’all and beer available its turned into a great day of running and socializing. Join us for the best tail gate party ever!

Ever wondered what it’s like to run 18 holes of golf without having to actually hit a little tiny ball with a stick? You’ll find out on October 12! We’ll be utilizing cart paths around the golf course and trails over what used to be the ski hill!

How many people on a team? Traditionally each team has five people; one for each leg but you’re welcome to run with less than five and just have some people run more than once. On that note we have introduced:

NEW – 3 person team pricing!

Want to be part of the fun but only have three runners? We’re introducing a three person team option at a bit lower pricing than the full team option. You’ll still run all five legs of the relay but with two people running twice.
Running with 4 – 5 people? Choose the Relay team 5 people option when you register.
Running with 2 – 3 people? Choose the relay team 3 people option when you register.

Golf course route map is here.

Route: We’ve used a combination of golf cart path, Wintergreen access road and the old ski hill to give you five different routes all with their own challenges. Leg 2 and 3 runners will climb the old ski hill along the chair lift line to the top (yup, the chair lift is still there). It is a 1km tough climb so be prepared. The golf course is built on a slope so all legs will have some elevation change along the cart path. The cart path is 20% asphalt and 80% packed gravel path – very nice to run on. The approach to the ski hill is a dirt service road, the climb is single track and the descent is double track trail. With adding to leg 2 and 4 we are able to get closer to the traditional Ekiden distance of 42.2km
