Handloggers Half Marathon 2026
The 12th annual Handloggers Half Marathon takes place on September 5, 2026, in Snug Cove, Bowen Island, British Columbia. The event is a mountain trail run of 21 km, laid out as a counterclockwise loop around Mt. Gardner.
The race is run as a single start with chip timing. The course starts and finishes near the ferry dock in Snug Cove. Entries are available for individual runners or as a relay for teams of three, with handoffs at the aid stations.
There are three aid stations on course. Drinks, snacks and prizes are provided at the finish. Organizers encourage participants to bring a reusable cup for use at aid stations and the finish area to reduce environmental impact.
The event raises funds in support of the Bowen Island Trail Society, the Bowen Island Conservancy and other causes that benefit the Bowen Island community. Pre-race check-in is held on the event day.
All participants are required to hold a valid BC Athletics athlete membership. Participants without a current BC Athletics membership must purchase a Day of Event Membership for CA$5.00 during registration. The event has previously sold out early and an August 25 deadline was given for requests to be added to the waitlist for transfers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
