Walk in the Park

About the Event

Nestled in Kenna Cartwright Park, Kamloops, BC, this trail race offers runners an unforgettable journey through scenic terrain and rolling hills. A cornerstone of British Columbia’s ultra-trail running scene since 1992, the event boasts a variety of distance options: 50km, 25km, 14km, and a newly introduced 8km route for 2026. Each course winds through single- and double-track trails that wind around sagebrush and dense forest, providing stunning views of Kamloops and the surrounding valleys.
The terrain is challenging yet rewarding, with steep climbs adding to the allure of this multi-distance event. Expect approximately 860 meters of elevation gain per lap as you navigate the rugged landscape. The warm September weather adds another layer of challenge but also makes for a vibrant race atmosphere filled with camaraderie and community spirit.
Participants can find detailed course descriptions, maps, and all other essential information on our website before heading out to experience this unique trail running adventure firsthand. With no refunds available once you register, it’s important to plan ahead and secure your spot early when prices are more favorable.
Volunteers play a crucial role in making the event happen each year, contributing their time at aid stations, course marking points, or start/finish line support. In appreciation of their hard work, volunteers receive perks such as free admission to the post-race BBQ and eligibility for door prize draws. Join us this September to be part of something truly special!
For all race details, including cancellation policies and volunteer sign-up information, visit our website at Sole Pursuit Running.
