Crazy Soles Nipika Trail Run - May 30, 2026
The event uses Nipika's singletrack trail network in the Kootenay Rockies, with routes set along the Kootenay and Cross Rivers. Multiple race distances run on separate loops that stay near meadows or rivers.
Course and distances
- 25 km : includes a 10 km loop and a 15 km loop.
- 15 km : the Kootenay Krusher trail on the south network.
- 10 km : a loop on the north network.
- 5 km : close to the meadow area with some singletrack.
- 2.5 km : kids run, same-day registration available for this event only.
Categories, timing and awards The 25 km has male and female age categories (under-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60+). The 15 km and 10 km have male and female classifications. Awards are presented for age classifications in the 25 km and top male and female in the 15 km and 10 km. Timing is done by hand rather than chip timing, which can affect accuracy in large groups. Draw prizes are offered for participants.
