Organiser's Description

Tenderfoot Boogie is almost here!Remember to donate or fundraise for a chance to win some fabulous door prizes at the race - hotel stays, adventure packages, and more!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 is a course change south of Cal-Cheak campground for the 50K and 26K distances, compared to the 2025 course. The 12K course start/finish has been reversed. The courses have been updated.
