Walk in the Park

Description

This grassroots trail race takes place in Kenna Cartwright Park in Kamloops, BC, offering stunning views of the city and surrounding valleys. Founded in 1992, it’s one of BC’s longest-running ultra trail races and features 50km, 25km, 14km and (NEW distance in 2026!) 8km options. Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned runner, this low-key multi-distance race is filled with heart and community. The course winds through rolling single and double-track trails surrounded by sagebrush and forest. With some steep sections and minimal shade, it’s a challenging yet rewarding route. Expect around 860 m of elevation gain per lap, and be ready for warm September weather. Head to our website for all the details and course descriptions!
