Butterfly Run Trail 2026

About the Event

Step into the Inaugural Butterfly Run Trail, an extraordinary journey dedicated to supporting those who have experienced infertility, pregnancy loss, TFMR (Tubal Factor Miscarriage Recurrence), and infant loss. This trail run is more than just a race; it's a community effort aimed at building support networks within the Kootenays area while raising awareness about these challenging experiences.
The Butterfly Run Trail serves as a platform for sharing stories, offering comfort, and fostering understanding among participants who have walked this path alone. All proceeds from the event will be directed towards supporting local and provincial initiatives and free bereavement programs through the Butterfly Support Network. Your participation not only contributes to vital causes but also helps build a strong community of support.
Navigating through scenic trails designed with diverse terrains, runners can expect a varied yet manageable course that caters to all skill levels. The atmosphere is one of solidarity and encouragement as fellow participants cheer each other on along the way. Whether you're running for personal reasons or supporting friends and family, this event provides an uplifting experience.
Join us in making a difference by walking together towards healing and support. Every step taken during the Butterfly Run Trail contributes to creating a network where no one has to face these challenges alone.
