STEEP ULTRA director Michaela Pye competing in an ultramarathon race

On September 5, 2020, nearly 200 trail runners will descend on the Humber Valley to participate in Newfoundland’s first 100-kilometer ultramarathon trail race or shorter 50km race, both including the entire length of the IATNL Humber Valley Trail from Ballam Bridge to Humber Village.

The STEEP ULTRA promises to deliver “unique, world class running through the geographical marvel that is western Newfoundland” and enable runners to push their limits across 50 or 100 kilometers of “breathtaking ocean views, majestic rolling mountains and vast, remote landscape.”

The motivation at STEEP can be broken down to two primary goals: “To share western Newfoundland with the rest of the world, and to use ultrarunning as a way of bringing our community together.”
