Snowden Trail Race

The Snowden Trail Race takes place on Saturday, 30 May 2026 at 11:00 AM PDT at PRT Growing Services Ltd. – Campbell River Nursery on Snowden Camp Road in Campbell River, British Columbia, Canada. This grassroots event features 11 km (approx. 170 m elevation gain) and 26 km (approx. 485 m elevation gain) courses through the stunning Snowden Demonstration Forest — miles of single‑track with gentle rollers and some of the softest ground your feet will ever race on. The event benefits Campbell River Search & Rescue Society, a group of dedicated volunteers providing a vital lifeline to those lost or injured in the wilderness of northern Vancouver Island.

What to expect:

• Live DJ, prizes, post‑run food and drinks
• Well‑marked course through a majestic forest with natural light filtering through the trees
• Tailgate vibe with plenty of high‑fives and good vibes all day
• Campbell River SAR will be on site on race day

Important policies (strictly enforced, violations result in a ban):

• Only registered in‑person racers may be on the course
• All participants must complete an online waiver (plus an additional waiver at the venue)
• No bib swapping — violators will be disqualified and banned
• If you cannot complete the course for any reason, you MUST notify a Course Marshal or Finish Line crew (do not go home without reporting).
• Medical staff and Race Directors may remove any racer deemed unfit to continue

Cell coverage is extremely limited (basically none) at Race Central and throughout the trail network. Please read the complete race policies before registering.
