Tenderfoot Boogie 2026

Register by March 31st before the next price increase!The Tenderfoot Boogie on June 20, 2026 is a beautiful trail run in Whistler, BC with 3 distances: 50K, 26K, or 12K. The 12K and 26K courses have very moderate elevation change as BC trail races go, but the 50K gets very spicy in the second half with some challenging climbs and fun descents. The routes* are on a mix of technical and relatively non-technical hiking trails and flowy mountain biking trails. The 12k distance can be approached as a (long) stroll in the woods, but the 26k and 50 are definitely not! You must be physically and mentally prepared to run long distances on trails through the forest. Note, the 50K distance will cross Highway 99 at Function Junction two times, and runners will need to obey traffic signals. The race route does not go along the highway or any paved roads (or only briefly).*There will likely be a course change south of Cal-Cheak suspension bridge for the 50K and 26K distances, compared to the 2025 course. The courses will be updated as soon as possible.
