About Canmore #1 2027

Join us in beautiful Canmore, Alberta for a 5 Peaks Trail Run on a world-class selection of singletrack and doubletrack with jaw-dropping mountain backdrops.

This 5 Peaks Trail Running event offers distances for all ages, abilities, and ambitions. Sign up soon to secure your spot, select your swag, and save!

The Canmore Nordic Centre is Canada's premier cross-country skiing and biathlon venue, having hosted the nordic and biathlon events of the 1988 Winter Olympics. In the summer, the Nordic Centre comes alive with hikers, runners, and mountain bikers enjoying the incredible trail network.

The race start/finish has a fantastic party vibe. Located on the main stadium with stunning mountain views, the sound of the start/finish DJ can be heard from the ridges as you make your way past the stadium. The course features hard hill climbs, technical and flowy singletrack, views for days, and loads of elevation gain.
