About the race
Bowen Mudder 2026 is a community mud obstacle event held at Island Pacific School on Bowen Island, British Columbia, on November 14, 2026. The event uses a forested, coastal temperate rainforest setting and features mudder-style obstacles on a looped course.
Participants can choose between the following distances:
- 2 km
- 5 km
The event is presented as family friendly and encourages costumes and team themes. The 5 km field is released first, followed by waves of teams and solo runners in the 2 km fun run. Prizes are awarded to first, second, and third place finishers in the 5 km for both under 18 and over 18 categories; additional awards recognize best costume and team spirit. A group warm up is held before the runs.
Logistics and amenities include shuttle bus service from Snug Cove ferry terminal for arriving ferries from Horseshoe Bay and return shuttle service after the event, bib pickup and registration in front of the school, change tents for post-run clothing, and on-site food options. Bowen General Store donates post-race hot chocolate and snacks, and Medicine Wheels mobile BBQ offers food for purchase with an Indigenous flair. All proceeds support the Island Pacific School bursary fund. Registration fees vary by age and distance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
