The Bush Babes and Bros, a trail running company that organizes ultra running races in Vernon, will play host to this year’s Canadian championship. The event will serve as the Selection Trials for the 2023 World Mountain & Trail Running Championships in Innsbruck and Stubai, Austria in June of next year.
