About

Bowen Island’s homegrown trail race with a lot of heart and unbelievable scenery — a challenging 21km counter-clockwise loop around Mt. Gardner on the island.

Catering & aid stations

Drinks, snacks and great prizes available at the finish line, and three aid stations on course (Killarney Lake at 5.5 km, Laura Road at 13 km, Grafton Lake at 17.5 km). On-course first aid and communication and a selection of finish line nutrition and hydration provided.

Pacers

The event is a single start trail run with stopwatch timing. Relay teams complete the same 21 km course with handoffs at each aid station; teams must provide their own transport to checkpoint locations.
