The Details

If you are seeking high alpine terrain with stunning views and a large variety of trails that are actually runnable, this is the trip for you. The Monashee mountains located outside of Revelstoke, BC will be our playground during this adventure and they do not disappoint.

The Logistics

We return to Sol Mountain Lodge in the heart of the Monashees after guiding there back in 2016 and 2017. Each day we will run from the lodge, exploring different routes, peaks and alpine lakes and will return to the comforts of one incredible “off the grid” lodge that is complete with comfortable rooms, a wood fired sauna, a yoga and stretch room and dare we say, even wifi! Sol Mountain Lodge has been working hard to develop their Summer trail network which allows us as runners to really take advantage of a high percentage of runnable terrain. That said, we will still tackle some elevation in order to tag a summit or two! This running adventure has it all!

We gratefully acknowledge that Sol Mountain Lodge lies in the unceded territories of the Sinixt, the Ktunaxa, the Secwepemc, and the Syilx Nations. We respectfully honor their people, cultures and traditions.

Pre Requisites for this Trips

• Must be able to run/hike consistently 20km days in mountainous terrain (using a run/hike strategy) while carrying a daypack

• Previous trail running experience (intermediate).

• Expect to be out on the trails for 4-6 hours a day, although these are NOT speed adventure.

• Comfort with alpine weather, and understanding of proper layering systems and self care (hydration, nutrition etc.)

• We recommend you spend time developing your ability to run up small climbs and through rolling terrain! It is a skill and leg strength is critical! This will allow us to be in a steady state run mode much more often vs being in hike mode.
