Pender Pursuit 5K & 10K Trail Races
Part of the Run, Walk, Wheel for Wellness | June 20, 2026
Lace up and take on Pender Island's trails at the Pender Pursuit — a community trail race experience designed for every kind of runner, from first-timers to seasoned trail enthusiasts.
5K Pender Pursuit
— A feel-good trail run with just enough edge to keep things interesting. Rolling elevation, playful terrain, and a route that winds through the Schooner Way–School Trail and the forested paths of the Disc Golf Park. Approachable, energizing, and the perfect way to discover Pender on foot.
10K Pender Pursuit
— Where things get real. A full-bodied trail experience with sustained climbs, flowing descents, and technical sections that demand focus and reward grit. The route links Magic Lake's trail network through the Disc Golf Park and out to the wild beauty of Shingle Bay Park. Rugged, rewarding, and worth every step.
Both distances start and finish at the School, with a 10:30 AM start time. Courses are designed by local crew
