The course

The 140 km Dig Deep course of the Grey Ghost Pursuit, 100% dirt from Castlegar to Rossland, in the West Kootenays of British Columbia.

The Grey Ghost Pursuit is the West Kootenay gravel race, around Rossland, British Columbia. The Dig Deep course, 100% on forest service roads and double track, starts in Castlegar and follows the Columbia & Western Rail Trail for a long way, through the Christina Lake and Fife areas, then joins Rossland Cascade Road. The main climb, about 722 metres between km 116 and km 128 through the Big Sheep Creek area, leads toward the highest point of the course, at 1,607 metres, before the finish near Rossland. This is the exact route plotted here — every turn at its precise intersection.

Why This Ride

The Grey Ghost Pursuit is 100% dirt in the West Kootenays: an old railway grade, forest roads and a big climb toward Rossland. Here, it's the Dig Deep, the big 140 km course. Your race, preserved in ink, one line at a time.
