The 25th Anniversary of the Emperor’s Challenge

A race like no other. A route you’ll never forget!

Since 1999, runners from across Canada and the world have made the pilgrimage to Tumbler Ridge to take on one of BC’s most iconic mountain races.

This isn’t a road race. It’s a true mountain challenge — rugged, raw, and real. The reward? Sweeping views, a powerful sense of accomplishment, and the knowledge that you've been part of something legendary.

Whether you're chasing a personal best, returning to the summit, or finally answering the call — this is the year to do it!

Race Day: Saturday, August 9, 2025

Core Lodge Staging Area, 45 km from Tumbler Ridge

Finish strong, then celebrate at The Emperor’s Village — with music, food, photo ops, memory walls, and more!
