Frequently Asked Questions

How can I get on the waitlist (when the event is sold out)? Please email the Race Office at registration@transrockies.com & tell us which distance/event you want to be on the waitlist for. Most spots won’t begin to become available until late summer, but get your name on there asap as the waitlist can get quite full!

What distances/event options are available? We have a few different options for registration. Below are the available events to choose from:

  • Full Pint (5km climb, 60km ultra, 15km run)

  • Half Pint (3km climb, 30km run, 11km run)

  • 60km Ultra (Saturday Sept 13)

  • 30km Run (Saturday Sept 13)

  • 15km (Sunday Sept 14)

  • 11km (Sunday Sept 14)

    You can sign up to do all 3 days (as the Full Pint or the Half Pint), or you can choose from a single event on the Saturday or the Sunday. Please note that single day entries are NOT available for the Friday events.

Can I “Mix & Match” my 3-day entry between the Full Pint & Half Pint ? Yes, If you want to do all 3 days, but "mix & match" the full pint & half pint distances, you can do that, however please note that you won't be up for any stage prizes, etc. For this, you'll need to register in one of the distances (Full Pint or Half Pint), then at package pick-up on event day in 2025 you'll need to come to the solutions tent to let us know which distances you plan on doing so that we can inform the timing team (and so that we aren't looking all over the course for you)

Can I split/share my 3-day entry with another runner ? NO, the same person must run/participant in all 3 days if they have signed up for a 3-day Full Pint or Half entry. You cannot “part out” your entry. (This is why we offer single day entries for the Saturday & Sunday events - so that if someone only wants to run 1 day, they can sign up for that instead).

Where should I stay in Golden? You can find information on accommodations on our website here (once on the page, click the underlined accommodation link).

Most people stay right in Golden as that's where the majority of event happens (only the Friday route is at Kicking Horse resort)

Please make sure you label your drop bag with your name &/or your bib number before you drop it off.

Where will I find my Drop Bag on course? You only need 1 drop bag as Aid Station 1 & Aid Station 4 are the at the same location (its one station that you hit twice). If you take a look on our course map for Stage 2 here ,you'll see where the locations of the aid stations are. You'll hit them at 12 km(7.5 mi), then again at 48 km(30 mi)

Do I need any mandatory gear? Yes, but only for the 60km distance on Stage 2 (although we recommend it for the 30km runners as well). We’ll be checking for: toque/beanie, gloves, jacket, emergency/survival blanket, hydration pack, & cell phone. Bear spray is not mandatory, but always recommended.

Is there a Dawn Patrol & can anyone join? Yes! There is Dawn Patrol on Saturday for the Half Pint led by your captain Nikki Mountford. Dawn Patrol is a ‘back of the pack’ hiking group and starts behind the full pint runners! We will speed hike the event (with some downhill running) to ensure we meet cut off times and enjoy every moment! This is not an opportunity for Half Pint runners to start early, and should a runner choose to start with us and then run ahead of the Dawn Patrol captain, they will receive a DQ for the event. A zoom meeting will be shared on the Facebook page prior to the event for more details.
