Dirty Feet - Kal Park 50

Experience the thrill of trail running along the stunning trails of Kalamalka Provincial Park near Vernon, BC. The Kal Park 50 offers three challenging distances: an 8km jaunt through scenic forest and grasslands, a grueling yet rewarding 25km loop, and the full 50km Dirty Feet Trail Race that showcases some of British Columbia's most breathtaking terrain.
Participants will wind their way past Kalamalka Lake and the Okanagan Valley, enjoying panoramic views from high points along the course. The trails are marked with clear flags and arrows to guide runners through this picturesque setting. At the finish line, runners can celebrate at the beach area where refreshments like sweet snacks, salty treats, water, and electrolyte drinks await.
Race day merchandise such as T-shirts, hoodies, socks, and hats will be available for purchase using cash or card payments. For those looking to commemorate their achievement, optional Dirty Feet medals are also up for grabs at the event—$15 on race day or pre-purchase through UltraSignup for $10.
Competitors in the 50km distance can look forward to five aid stations strategically placed throughout the course, providing water, electrolyte drinks, gummies, and chips. The 25km route features two aid stations, while the shorter 8km race does not have any stops along the way.
Race day registration begins at 6:00 am on May 2nd, 2027, with strict rules against pacing or support crews following runners during the event. Participants should be prepared for variable weather conditions and pack accordingly. Detailed directions to Jade/Juniper Bay parking lot are essential as incorrect locations can lead to confusion.
