Queen and King of the Hill 2026 Registration
New this year: There will be a limited edition finisher's shirt - you can reserve yours here.
Queen and King of the Hill is a single elimination virtual running tournament taking place from May 25th to June 21st 2026 in both Squamish and Canmore (one separate tournament per location).
Every runner will randomly placed into a 64-person bracket. They will then go head-to-head in pairs to see who can post the fastest time on a hill climb. The runner who submits the fastest time of his or her pair advances to the next round. The runner with the slower time of the pair is eliminated.
The round of 16 will see the remaining runners face off on another uphill challenge. Once again, the faster runner advances. The end will see a Final Four compete for the crown of King and Queen of the Hill. Each round will feature a different challenge and last one week. Runners can attempt the weekly challenge as many times as they want during the week and submit their fastest time with GPS verification.
All the challenges will take place on local Bow Valley climbs and on local Sea-to-Sky climbs depending on which tournament you participate in. You will have to run the tournament on the segment that is selected each week. You may have to drive up to 45 minutes from Squamish or Canmore to complete certain challenges but we try to limit having to drive as much as possible
Expect to have to drive a little bit for some of the challenges, we are doing our best to keep the segments nearby but we want to avoid doing the same challenges every year.
The dates: May 25th to June 21st 2026
Registration is $10.
