What You Should Know About Storm The Wall At UBC

Don't stand on the wall.
Jesse Ferreras

The annual Storm The Wall is back at the University of British Columbia this weekend.

It's a massive intramural sports event where teams and individuals compete in races from March 22 to 26. But it's also a UBC tradition that began in 1978.

This year, a record-breaking 800 teams have signed up for the competitions and ultimately, to conquer a 12-foot high wall.

Those of us who went to UBC remember the pain of racing (well, some of us), and others may at least recall all the hubbub on campus.

For the newbies, and the oldies, here's a rundown of Storm The Wall:
