Rise and Grind!

The Multi-Grouse Grind Challenge is the only sanctioned event to determine the record-holder for most ascents of the Grouse Grind in a 19-hour period. Participants are set to seek their personal bests and look to break the current record of 19 ascents all while raising valuable funds for North Shore Rescue.

“This year’s Multi-Grouse Grind Challenge will be the last opportunity to break the current record before our new Gondola opens, creating a more efficient way to egress the Mountain for next year’s event,” said Madelaine Twomey, Grouse Mountain Resort Communications Manager. “Last year’s event saw the winner complete an amazing 18 grinds, and more than $25,000 was raised for North Shore Rescue, let’s beat both records this year!”

With the Grouse Grind officially open from 7am on April 27, participants in Grouse Mountain’s 2024 Grind Run Series will now be able to add the challenging hike into their training schedules for the three unique events: Seek the Peak (June 8th), the Multi-Grouse Grind Challenge (June 20th), and the iconic Grouse Grind Mountain Run (August 24th).

The reopening of the Grouse Grind marks the end of extensive transformation providing a safer and more enjoyable experience for hikers including a new trailhead entrance with improved access, new seating, a water fountain, stretching bars, and better access for first responders. The project also saw the replacement of a foot bridge over a creek near the one-quarter mark, and environmental restoration.

• Seek The Peak – Saturday, June 8th: More than 800 runners will take on the challenging 16km course that starts at Ambleside Park in West Vancouver, winds its way through North Vancouver, then heads up the legendary Grouse Grind to The Peak of Vancouver. This year’s race will once again help raise funds for Metro Vancouver Regional Parks Foundation. This event is already over 50% sold out!
