5 Peaks - Mt. Seymour

5 Peaks Mount Seymour : event overview and key details

This event is part of the BC 5 Peaks Trail Running Series and takes place on trails within Mount Seymour Provincial Park. Courses run through dense British Columbia forest and circle Goldie and Flower lakes. The venue is about 30 minutes from downtown Vancouver.

Multiple distances are offered and route maps include elevation gain and aid station locations. Race distances and maps may change based on trail conditions up to the event day.

A non-competitive hiking division is available. It is led by two pace leaders, requires walking only, and lists estimated finish times of about 2 hours for the Sport course and 3 hours for the Enduro course. Hikers are not eligible for podiums but are entered into draws and event activities.

Safety and logistics highlights: no dogs, no headphones, no strollers or child carriers, and no nordic walking poles except in the hiking division. Washroom facilities are located in the parking lot. Parking is reported as plentiful and spectator viewing is best from the start and finish area.

Optional event merchandise and finisher medals can be purchased on site. Awards are presented to top finishers by gender and age category and must be collected at the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
