The Pemby Pounder Trail Run

The Pemby Pounder Trail Run

“Your adventure begins here” at the base of majestic Mount Currie. The Pemby Pounder is an exhilarating trail run race located in Pemberton, British Columbia, Canada that pounds the heart on the way up and the legs on the way down. Known for its challenging terrain and breathtaking views, this trail run offers an unforgettable experience for any trail runner. Characterized by its steep climbs, technical descents, and varied landscapes, ranging from old growth forests to rugged alpine vistas and views to the valley floor. With its combination of natural beauty, heart pounding ascents and leg pounding descents, the Pemby Pounder is a must-run for anyone looking to experience the best of Pemberton’s Mackenzie trail network.
