Hungry Hungry Half Marathon 2026

About the Event

The 11th annual Hungry Hungry Half Marathon takes over Kelowna, BC on Saturday, 30 May 2026, starting at 7:00 AM PDT from the Apple Bowl Stadium on Burtch Road. This community-backed race offers four distances: 21 km half marathon, 10 km, 5 km, and a 1 km kids run—all feeding directly into support for the Central Okanagan Food Bank. Early bird pricing has closed, so grab regular registration before 27 May 2026.

Distance	Start Time	Course Highlights	Start/Finish
21 km Half Marathon	7:00 AM	Rails & Trails path, Knox Mountain views, waterfront through Stuart & City Park	Apple Bowl
10 km	7:00 AM	Rails & Trails path, Knox Mountain out and back	Apple Bowl
5 km	7:00 AM	Out and back on the Rails & Trails multi-use pathway	Apple Bowl
1 km Kids Run	7:00 AM	One or two loops around Apple Bowl	Apple Bowl

Since day one, this event has parked itself on a simple idea: run hard, give back. Every registration helps the Central Okanagan Food Bank do its work. Right now, 144 participants have signed up, and fundraising sits at 55% of goal—almost there, but room to grow. The half marathon winds through some of Kelowna's best scenery, starting and finishing at the Apple Bowl. You'll hit the Rails and Trails pathway, climb Knox Mountain for a killer view, then hug the waterfront through Stuart Park and City Park.

The 10 km follows a similar rhythm but keeps things tighter, still giving you that Knox Mountain push. The 5 km is a straight out-and-back on the multi-use path—great for a quick morning jog or a first race. Kids under 12 get their own moment in the 1 km fun run around the stadium bowl. Every child receives a medal, and parents can tag along for free. Want to walk instead of run? No problem. This event welcomes both.
