General Info

Previously known as "MBCUTS", the series was started by Rob Lang in 2001 to try and foster further competition between British Columbia's ultra trailrunners. The idea came from other places such as Ontario, California and Oregon who have similar series. Rob had nurtured and grown the series in its first three years, and passed the torch on to new Series Director Enzo Federico in 2004, who in turn passed it on to Bruce Grant in 2006.

If you would like to propose any new races for the Series, please visit the Race Selection Criteria page.
