5 Peaks : Bowmont Park
This is the third event in the 5 Peaks Trail Running Series held on the trails of Bowmont Park in northwest Calgary. The route is singletrack focused with punchy climbs and fast descents, offering views of the Bow River valley and the city skyline.
The race starts and finishes at Varsity Village Park next to Christine Meikle School. The course begins with a westward traverse on the Sideshow Bob trail, drops into Dale Hodges Park, loops west through the park and connects to trails running parallel to the Bow River. Sport runners return from Silverthorn Park while Enduro runners complete an additional eastern loop before joining the same final stretch. Expect rolling hills, a few steep climbs and descents, and possible heat.
