🏔️ Every year, hundreds of wishes are written on prayer flags the night before the Canadian Death Race, and are then stringed along the summit of Mount Hamell. These messages of encouragement motivate trail runners for the duration of the race, with a sense of community and support, while overcoming one of the hardest trail running races in North America.

🏆 An all female win trail running in The Dark! ⬇️ Read how this came to be!

❎ Women were “medically” cleared to run the marathon in 1972. Just prior to this, Katherine Switzer boldly ran the Boston Marathon in 1967 showing the world, women can run long distances! It wasn’t until 1984 that the women’s marathon was introduced at the Olympics and won by Joan Benoit in a time of 2:22:43.

⏩ Fast forward to now, and the top racers in the 24, 12, and 6 hour categories in The Dark 24 Hours Underground, are all women!!! 🇨🇦

♾️ Over the years, the community of trail running has grown in inclusivity - a sport that welcomes all to perform their best in an inviting environment.

🙌 Congrats to these top three ladies who ran as far as they could on a 500m track in an underground mine:

🏆 Jodie Stutt +187km in 24 hours
🏆 Miroslava Vikhrenko +100km in 12 hours
🏆 Tess Owen +60km in 6 hours

🥇 Congrats to all! This race had women doing their first running race, first ultra, first 100 miles and first introduction to the trail running community.

💪 Women have showed they are not scared to try new, challenging - yet fun - adventures, to test their will and lead others by example.

🫶Welcome all, to trail running.

The rocks are still vibrating in the mine!

♾️ The Dark runners put everything they had left in them towards one more loop! The cheers ignited their final sprints!

🏆 The 24 Hour record was smashed! Jodie Stutt ran over 180 km on a 500m out and back loop in an abandoned coal mine!

In back-to-back years, The Dark 24 Hours Underground has been won by females - and this year, the 12 hour and 6 hr category as well! An all female win in each category!!!!!

We love this crazy, wild, absurd race of ours, but love even more the unique people who agree: this is fun!

See you all next year!
