The 2024 Great Trek Relay brought UBC’s rich history to life, honouring the original Arts ’20 Relay with an exhilarating race through campus and Musqueam Territory. Against a backdrop of perfect weather and golden fall leaves, 19 teams took on the challenge, channeling the spirit of the students who first blazed this trail. Each runner brought enthusiasm, teamwork, and resilience to the course, creating an unforgettable day that captured the bold spirit of UBC’s past and present. A huge thank you to our runners, supporters, and volunteers for making this year’s relay a success. We can’t wait for next year!
