Event Overview
The Mount Robson Marathon is a grassroots, community-oriented running event hosted on the Berg Lake Trail, a world-class hiking destination within Mount Robson Provincial Park in British Columbia. The event marks the trail's return after the devastating floods of 2021.
Available Distances
The event offers four running distances:
- Ultra Marathon (covers the entire Berg Lake Trail)
- Half Marathon
- Kinney Lake 12km
- Flatlander 5km
All runs start at the Mount Robson Welcome Centre and follow the Berg Lake Trail up the Robson River. The routes are out-and-back with water and aid stations along the way. The Ultra Marathon passes through several different environmental zones, with its turnaround point just past the shores of Berg Lake. This course features an elevation gain of 825 meters, with the majority concentrated in a 5km stretch known as the Valley of a Thousand Falls. The Half Marathon and 12km run take participants up a well-groomed trail to Kinney Lake. The 5km run is mostly flat on an open road, with a short section of wide, gently inclining trail.
A free Kids’ Fun Run is also held around the Mount Robson Info Centre during the day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
