Running In Whistler
Escape the Daily Grind
There are so many sports to choose from when coming to Whistler. One you can do without having to get a pass or much equipment is running. As you can imagine, it is really big in this small town.

There are a number of races that happen throughout the spring, summer and fall to keep any running enthusiast pumped.
One of the big events to start the running season off is the Whistler Half Marathon. This takes place the first weekend of June and has a 10K and 21.1K option so even if you are not in running shape yet you can still participate in one of the two events.
Another favourite is the Whistler 50 Relay and Ultra Marathon which happens at the end of the season. Grab 8 of your friends and take on the 50 mile relay race or you can take it on yourself.
With all of the amazing bike trails throughout Whistler, trail running is a huge part of the running scene.
