The Pemby Pounder

The Pemby Pounder is a thrilling trail running event held in Pemberton, British Columbia, at the base of Mount Currie. It features two race distances: a challenging 22km "Half Pounder" course with 963m of elevation gain, offering steep climbs, technical descents, and stunning views of old-growth forests and alpine vistas; and a 9km "Quarter Pounder" course, ideal for beginners, with a fun climb and flowy descent. Both routes start in the valley within the Mackenzie trail network. The event emphasizes natural beauty, a supportive atmosphere, and includes custom swag, medals, awards, and post-race refreshments. It supports local trail associations and Indigenous communities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
