Your adventure begins here” at the base of majestic Mount Currie. We offer two trail race options. We have a challenging 22km route that rewards runners with incredible views. For those who want to dip their toes into trail running or are not up for a tough half marathon, we have a fun 9km course that was a big hit in 2023.
Both courses begin in the valley at the base of the McKenzie trail network.
22km runners will have a flat to undulating start before tackling a long climb trail. After reaching the lower paraglide launch and enjoying beautiful views, you will head uphill again through the stunning forest, aptly named Middle Earth, before descending all the way back to the valley.
9km runners will also encounter a flat to undulating start before tackling the Happy Trail climb and Waco connector. Afterward, it’s a fun, flowy descent back to Den Duyf park and the finish.
Our trail half marathon is part of the XTERRA Trail Run World Series, with XTERRA Trail Run World Championship slots available.
* $5 from every entry goes to Pemberton Valley Trails Association (PVTA)
** We have Youth pricing for those under 18 (age as end of 2024). Scroll down for youth registration details for both 22K and 9K events. This is not a separate category, it's simply a discounted rate for those under 18.

XTERRA Pemberton Trail Run are grateful to work, live, play on & protect the shared, unceded territory of the Lil̓wat7úl (Lil’wat) Nations. We respect and commit to a deep consideration of their history, culture, stewardship, and voice.
In bringing this world-class trail race to Pemberton we have decided to fundraise for three important groups.
"The Recreation Department keeps The Líl̓wat Nation an active place, offering sports, recreation and leisure programs for all ages. All of the department’s activities are designed to benefit community members physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually."
2. Indigenous Life Sport Academy
"The Indigenous Life Sport Academy (ILSA) is a not-for-profit that helps create social change and development within Indigenous communities. ILSA provides Indigenous youth with opportunities to play, express themselves, improve both their mental and physical health, as well as learn skills such as snowboarding, skateboarding, biking, climbing, hiking, and golf that can benefit them long into their adult years. These healthy sport-based outlets assist in the relief of conscious and subconscious stresses induced by intergenerational trauma within indigenous communities."
