Sprint the Spit takes runners from the beautiful pavilion at the historical Railway Museum of BC in Skwxwú7mesh / Squamish to the end of the mighty Skwxwú7mesh River at the shores of the Pacific Ocean and Átl'ka7tsem / Howe Sound.
The first 3km of the race alternates playfully between paved asphalt, crushed gravel path, and smooth dirt trail - all pancake flat - before launching south on Spit Rd’s hard-packed dirt surface. Race the waters of the Skwxwú7mesh River out to sea, taking in the serenity of the estuary wetlands to the west, the towering mountains of Tantalus Provincial Park to the east, and beautiful Átl'ka7tsem / Howe Sound to the south.
Tag up at the edge of the Pacific Ocean and button hook back to the north, high-fiving all the smiling runners you doubleback on. Lean in to the familiar back half of the course - the sooner you get to the finish line, the sooner you get to join the party!
It’s Race day!
