5 Peaks Whistler Blackcomb

5 Peaks Whistler Blackcomb is a trail running event on Blackcomb Mountain in Whistler, Canada, taking place on Saturday, September 4. The courses run through alpine meadows, past alpine lakes, and over boulder fields, offering extensive mountain views.

Distances are provided for children and adults across several course options. All racer participants must purchase a gondola ticket; gondola access, swag, and finisher medals are not included in base registration but can be pre-purchased at a discounted rate during registration. Awards are presented to the top three finishers in each gender, age category, and distance and must be picked up at the race.

Packet pick up is available Friday, September 3 at Capra Running in Garibaldi Highlands. The event is cup free; participants should bring a personal hydration vessel. Water and an electrolyte drink (Blonyx Hydra+) will be available at the start, finish, and aid stations.

Safety rules include no dogs, no headphones, no strollers or baby carriers, and no hiking poles except in the non-competitive hiking categories. A non-competitive hiker division is offered for the Sport (7 km) and Enduro (11 km) courses; it is led by pace leaders, starts earlier than timed runs with no cut-offs, and has estimated finish times of about 2 hours for Sport and 3 hours for Enduro.
