The Challenge is open to participants of all ages and abilities. Participants under 18 must have parental or guardian consent.
Registration through capra.run is required to participate.
Participants may join from any location. You do not need to be located in the Sea to Sky corridor to participate in the main challenge.

// 03 — Challenge Rules

Dates

The Challenge runs from May 1 to May 31, 2026. Only activities completed within this period will count.

Eligible Activities

Any human-powered activity that results in elevation gain is eligible. This includes but is not limited to: trail running, hiking, road cycling, mountain biking, ski touring, snowshoeing, stair climbing, and scrambling.

Motorized or mechanically assisted activities (e-bikes, gondolas, chairlifts, etc.) are not eligible.

Scoring

Participants log their own elevation gain (in metres) for each activity.
Only your top 10 days of elevation gain count toward your individual leaderboard score.
Multiple activities on the same day are combined into a single daily total.
All logged elevation (not just top 10 days) counts toward prize draw entries, at a rate of 1 entry per 100m.

Teams

Teams are optional and may consist of up to 4 members.
Each team member's individual elevation contributes to the team total.
A participant may only be a member of one team at a time.

// 04 — Sidequests

Sidequests are optional bonus objectives located in the Sea to Sky corridor.
Completing a sidequest earns 1 bonus prize draw entry.
Not all sidequests are suitable for all participants. Some involve serious mountain terrain, remote areas, and/or technical difficulty. Participants must assess their own fitness, experience, and preparedness before attempting any sidequest.
The Organizer may add additional sidequests during the Challenge period.

// 05 — Fair Play & Integrity

Participants are responsible for logging their activities honestly and accurately.
The Organizer reserves the right to review any logged activity and request verification (GPS data, photos, etc.).
Participants found to be falsifying or inflating their data may be disqualified and removed from the Challenge.
The Organizer's decisions regarding eligibility, scoring, and disqualification are final.
