About the race
Mount Seymour is the fifth and final race in the BC 5 Peaks Trail Running Series. The event takes place on the trails of Mt. Seymour Provincial Park, with Sport and Enduro courses that wind through dense BC forest and around Goldie and Flower lakes. The venue is located about 30 minutes from Downtown Vancouver.
Distances offered:
- 1 km Kid's run
- 3 km Kid's run
- 6.5 km Sport run or hike
- 10 km Enduro run or hike
- 14.1 km Grit run
A non-competitive hiking division is available for participants who wish to walk the course with designated pace leaders; this division starts one hour earlier than the regular timed fields and has estimated finish times of about 2 hours for the Sport course and 3 hours for the Enduro. Hikers may not run and are entered into prize draws, but this division does not have a podium.
Practical details include packet pick-up at Distance Runwear in North Vancouver prior to the event and on-site packet pick-up at Mount Seymour. Race distances and maps may change based on trail conditions. Washrooms are located in the parking lot and there is ample parking. Spectators are welcome with best viewing from the start/finish area.
Safety rules prohibit dogs, headphones, strollers or baby carriers on course, and nordic walking poles are only permitted in the hiking division. Optional swag and finisher medals can be purchased through Race Roster or on site; awards must be picked up at the race and will not be mailed. Volunteers who work four hours may choose an entry to a future 5 Peaks event or an item from the merch table. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
