The Selkirk Slacker 8hr Ultra Trail is a timed trail ultra run on the trails around Golden, British Columbia, in the Canadian Rockies. Runners start at 11:00 and have eight hours on their feet, covering as much ground as they can on the marked trail course before the clock runs out. The event sits in the Small Town Race Series and is now in its fourth edition, with the 2027 running scheduled for 15 May. Ground underfoot is singletrack and mountain trail rather than road, and the day finishes wherever each runner's legs have carried them by early evening.

Other questions
The start is listed as Golden, British Columbia, in Canada. Golden sits between the Rocky Mountains and the Selkirk Mountains in eastern BC. The precise trailhead and start venue are not published on this listing, so check the organiser's race information or email them before you travel.
The timed eight-hour format suits runners who want to spend a long day on mountain trails rather than chase a fixed distance. You can run as far as your legs and the terrain allow in the time available, which makes it a natural step up for runners moving beyond marathon distance, and a hard day out for experienced ultra runners.
The listing does not publish aid station details for this event. Contact the organiser at [email protected] to ask what will be available and how much of your own food and water you should plan to carry.
Crew and spectator arrangements are not specified on this listing. Trail races in this part of BC often have limited access points, so ask the organiser in advance if you plan to have a crew or supporters following you around the course.
The DUV listing marks the event as not ranking eligible and carries no IAU label. Results are still recorded in the DUV ultramarathon database, and the race has appeared there since 2024.
