Welcome to the 2026 Layers of Pain Backyard Ultramarathon!

Your favourite local sufferfest is back for another year of challenge and triumph at our beloved Onion Lakes Ski Trails on June 20-21st, 2026. The backyard ultramarathon format is simple: run the designated 6.7-km loop every hour, on the hour, for as many or as few loops as you can or want to do, with an exciting mass start each loop! All participants will receive a t-shirt (and/or similar swag TBD) and the winner will receive a trophy and be enshrined in glory. There will be basic snacks available on race day, as well as water, electrolyte drinks, door prizes, and a photo booth. Don't forget to bring a chair, cooler, tent, etc. for down-time between loops.

Any excess funds collected will be donated to the Snow Valley Nordic Valley Ski Club, who graciously maintains the Onion Lake trail network.
