The Lewiston Ultra is a 60 kilometre solo and relay mountain trail race. Its course connects the communities of Salmon Arm and Sicamous through Larch Hills on mostly single-track trails. The race began at 8 a.m. at Klahani Park in Salmon Arm and will finish at Hyde Mountain Golf Resort in Sicamous.
Proceeds of the race will be donated to Shuswap Trail Alliance, Shuswap Search and Rescue and supporting many more local organizations. Proceeds will also be donated to the Lewiston Foundation which aims to raise awareness and search for a cure for Spinal Muscular Atrophy.
