19th Annual BMO Grouse Grind Mountain Run

If you’re feeling inspired by Sebastian Albrecht’s recent record breaking of the most Grouse Grinds completed in one day, here’s your chance to break the record for the fastest Grouse Grind. The 19th Annual BMO Grouse Grind Mountain Run will be taking place Sept 20, 2009.

Canada’s most famous trail, the Grouse Grind®, has a new champion after hundreds of participants raced to the alpine finish line of the 18th annual BMO Bank of Montreal Grouse Grind Mountain Run on September 21, 2008. In his first appearance in the event, 21- year-old Sebastian Salas from Vancouver beat an elite field that included athletes from as far as Quebec and Alberta, in a time of 28:02. The fastest woman on the course was reigning female record holder Leanne Johnston, clocking 31:29 to claim her third title in as many years. Over 600 ambitious hikers took on the challenge with race participants, ranging in age from seven to 78.

You can compete as an individual in your age/ gender category, or as a team. It is day-of registration.
