Powderface Marathon & Half Marathon
The Powderface Mountain Marathon is scheduled for June 26, 2027 in Bragg Creek, AB, and is organized by 5 Peaks. The event is held on K-Country singletrack and offers the following distances:
- 41.9 km on K-Country singletrack, about 1200 m elevation gain
- Half marathon option
The course is described as more challenging than other events in the same series. Runners are advised to have realistic trail experience, with prior runs of about 25 km to 30 km on trail recommended. Elevation gain is significant and monthly hill repeats are unlikely to provide sufficient preparation. Both distances include two creek crossings, so participants should expect to run with wet feet at those points.
Mandatory equipment includes a hydration pack, jacket, gloves, and a BUFF to cover the ears. Participants should also carry personal fuel or snacks for between aid stations; aid stations are provided along the course. Suggested items include bear spray and trail shoes. Volunteers support the event and aid station services are available. Registration closes on June 1 at 11:59 PM MT and an entry fee is listed as USD 218.30.
