A big Thank Your to Kim Fiddes and true form personal training center in Sherwood Park.  Kim has worked with our team for the last 3 months in conditioning and preparing for the race.  The studio setup at true form is fantastic and even the kids got involved with our workouts.  There were many Sunday mornings that all of us had a hard time getting out of bed because Kim worked us so hard on Saturday.  Thanks for the pain Kim!

The 146km course will take you through the most rugged, remote and beautiful terrain in Alberta's stunning Rocky Mountains. With over 5,050m of elevation gain across the course, this race will punish those who are not prepared.

The Sinister 7 is open to solo runners or teams of up to seven and racers have 27 hours to complete the grueling event. The course is split into seven stages, each featuring a geographic and historic highlight of the area. The race's name is inspired by the treacherous Seven Sisters Mountain that looms over much of the course
