About: Canadian Death Race

The Canadian Death Race is a 125 kilometre foot race through the Canadian rocky mountains in Grande Cache, Alberta. It includes three mountain summits, one major river crossing, and 17,000 feet of elevation change. The race has been held annually on the August long weekend since the year 2000. In 2010 The North Face became the title sponsor and the race was renamed The North Face Canadian Death Race. The North Face's sponsorship was quietly removed from all promotional material on February 20, 2014. It is organized by a non-profit organization known as the Canadian Institute of Extreme Racing. Racers can compete by themselves or in relay teams of up to five people.
