The 5 Peaks Trail Running Series delivers some of the best trail running this country has to offer. The events are hosted at some of the most spectacular natural spaces in Canada. Each race takes place on pre-marked trails with participants running over rocks, roots, tree stumps and logs, through mud puddles, snow and so much more.
Founded in 1998, the 5 race series originated in the Vancouver area. The series has since spread across Canada and offers events in five regions: British Columbia, Central Alberta, Northern Alberta, Ontario and Quebec. The series events provide participants an option of 4-5 course lengths (1 km Kids, Competitive Kids ~3K, Sport (~ 5K to 8K), Enduro (~10K-15K), and GRIT (~18-25K)).
True to the 5 Peaks tag line, people are increasingly motivated to GET OFF THE ROAD and onto the trails. The series runs from April to October each year. Each event consists of a free Children’s Challenge (50m – 1km), a Timed Kids Challenge (about 3k), a Sport (5-8 km) entry-level course, and an Enduro (10-15 km) intermediate to advanced course. Certain venues may also offer a GRIT distance ranging between 15 and 25 km.
The series is open to runners of all ages, abilities, and ambitions. Please choose your distance category for each event during registration. Any discounts will be applied at checkout.
