Whistler Half Marathon 2018

The Whistler Half Marathon is back and with something for everyone

As the host hotel for this amazing event, we couldn’t be more excited for its return. Back again for the second year in a row is the W30 aptly named the Lost Lake Challenge which combines the half marathon with an additional 8.9kms giving it a grand total of 30kms.

The additional run is through a trail network in Lost Lake called Tin Pants, a non-technical crushed gravel trail that takes you through some amazing views. The addition of the W30 is for those looking to “bridge the gap” between the half marathon and the full marathon distances.

The WH or Whistler Half had a brand new course for 2017. Participants got to experience new amazing views of the coastal mountains and the surrounding area. This race has quickly become a must do for distance runners all across North America

For those of you just getting into running, there is a WT and a WF which is the Whistler Ten and the Whistler Five. The WT is just shy of the half marathon at 10kms but is none the less exciting. This course still offers the breathtaking views but allows you to still get in some race training amongst like minded people. The WF is 5kms perfect for anyone looking to get out and live a healthy lifestyle, new to running or just starting out for the season. The start will take place at the Passive Haus which is located right by the entrance of Lost Lake Park.

Dont worry kids, the adults are not the only ones having all the fun. The WK or Whistler Kids is just shy of 1km where you get to run through the Village and compete just like Mom and Dad. Get introduced to running or show your stuff, don’t worry, Mom and Dads are welcome too.
