Background:The Go Deep or Go Home has morphed over the years. Conceived 2004 by Dom Repta as a fall ultra to fill the need for a little late season competition for both the hard core ultramarathon runner, the beginning trail runner, and everyone in-between, he realized the following year the need for more daylight during a tough 80km trail run. He moved the ultra into August and kept a 20km option (the Go Home) in the fall.
Turned out 80km might have been a bit too much to chew. While the 20km course became a favourite summer run, the 80km never took off. In 2007 Dom decided to explore organizing another ultra, a 100 miler in the Sea To Sky country, and handed event hosting over to Cheryl Johnson (Go Deep) and Des Mott (Go Home). In 2010, Reagan White took over and added a new course option (Go Sweet) is available. From 2014, Eric Rannaud took over.
The Go Deep or Go Home is held almost entirely on trails in the spectacular North Shore mountains above Vancouver, Canada. The trail surface is a mix of steep ascents and descents, technical terrain and fast, rolling groomed trails with approximately 2500m (8,000') of vertical change. In order to appeal to a wide range of experience levels and abilities, the course now offers 1 or 2 loops of 20km, and, since 2011, the popular 14K course option follows a "lollipop" route.
In keeping with Club Fat Ass guidelines, we aim to tread lightly and leave no trace of the event on the trail or the environment. The course will not be marked with surveyor tape. Directions won't be painted on rocks. There will be no flour used at intersections or along the trail that could wash off or alert the hazardous materials squad. Written course directions that note existing signage and key landmarks are below (though may be out of date as natural conditions change).

For the 14k course, same course with a shortcut: go down Inclide and Mushroom Trail, take left at the Mushroom Parking Lot and keep going on Mushroom Trail until you reach the Baden Powell.

What to Bring?
bring your own food and fluids. There is a water tap at the start, but be prepared in case it is out of service.
bring your own official timing system (a watch will do, even if the second hand doesn't work.)
Finally, expect difficult terrain, very technical trails with lots of ascents and descents.
