Slay the Dragon

Slay the Dragon is more than a trail race, it’s a mountain adventure. Held at Silver Star Mountain Resort above Vernon, British Columbia, runners take off from 5,200 feet and climb into crisp alpine air, rewarded with panoramic views of the Monashee Mountains. Every stride leads you deeper into the resort’s network of singletrack mountain bike trails, weaving through wildflower meadows, shady forest, and rocky ridgelines.

This race captures the magic of high-country running: big climbs, big views, and an unbeatable mountain vibe. Whether you’re toeing the line for 13.6K, 25K, or the challenging 50K, you’ll be cheered on by a welcoming community, passionate volunteers, and the knowledge that you’re part of something special. With a cupless, eco-friendly approach and lively post-race atmosphere, Slay the Dragon invites athletes, crews, and fans alike to celebrate a day in the mountains.
