Fat Dog 120

Fat Dog 120 - August 7, 2026

Situated in the rugged Cascade mountain ranges of British Columbia, the Fat Dog experience is a true journey through remote Canadian wilderness. No matter which distance, it is our commitment to come alongside every racer and get them to the finish line and reach the goals they set out to achieve. We strive to accomplish this by offering a hospitable, inclusive, memorable, and fun event that is also extremely challenging in every aspect. Fat Dog 120 is very active in the maintenance and care of the extensive trail network that is used for our event. We recognize that it is a great privilege to run on these trails and it is one way of giving back to the outdoor community at large. Many of the trails incorporated have rich history connected to the area now known as British Columbia.

Course Overview

The course is 124 Miles long, incorporating a point-to-point style route which begins near the community of Keremeos, British Columbia, and finishes along the shores of Lightning Lake in E.C. Manning Provincial Park. Cumulative elevation gain is just over 26,240 feet or 8000 meters. The majority of the course is run on very remote, technical, single track trail. Much of the course is far from road access and will take you through some of the absolute most scenic parts of southwestern British Columbia. You will travel from valley bottoms up into high sub-alpine terrain with many panoramic views along the way.
