Around The Lake Give 'R Take 30

The Chilliwack Autumn Spectacle Race returns on October 17, 2026, offering runners a stunning loop around Cultus Lake. The course is designed to showcase the natural beauty of the region, weaving through lush forest trails and along the tranquil lakefront with its picturesque beaches.
Race morning anticipates comfortable temperatures ranging from 7.8°C to 14.7°C, with an average feel like 11.2°C, creating a perfect setting for runners of all abilities to enjoy the scenic surroundings under autumn’s golden hues reflecting off the calm waters. Established in 2016 and now firmly rooted within Chilliwack's community calendar, this event has grown into more than just a trail run—it is an opportunity to connect with nature while contributing to local charities.
The race features two distinct legs: 17 kilometers for one leg followed by another 13 kilometers. Along the way, strategic aid stations ensure runners stay well-fueled throughout their journey. The terrain offers varied challenges, including sections that hug the shoreline of Cultus Lake, providing a diverse and engaging experience.
Weather conditions on race day are expected to be mild with an average wind speed of 5.4 km/h and humidity around 84.7%. Trail surfaces will feel firm but not too hard, ideal for comfortable running under low UV index levels (2.8 - Low). Participants can expect a serene atmosphere that complements the natural beauty.
For relay teams, there is an opportunity to split the race into two legs: The team captain starts at 09:00 with a registration fee of CA$227.50, while each additional member also starting at this time and registering for free can join in. Solo runners are welcome too; they can sign up from now on for the full 30 kilometers, paying CA$104.06.
Children aged 8 to 12 years old will enjoy their own race with a distance of just over 1 kilometer (1.5 km) and registration at only CA$12.82. This event is not to be missed for those seeking an inspiring day out in the great outdoors, supporting local causes through annual fundraising efforts.
