British Columbia isn’t short on dramatic landscapes, and its half marathon calendar reflects just that. From sea-level courses in Vancouver to alpine climbs in the interior, this is one of the most visually striking places to run 21.1 kilometres. Whether you’re a local looking for a new challenge or travelling from abroad for a destination race, BC half marathons deliver routes to remember.
Along the coast, conditions stay mild for much of the year, making it easier to train and race almost any month. Vancouver’s trail system links city streets with stretches of waterfront and green space, creating natural routes that rarely feel repetitive. Over on the island, Victoria’s half marathons pair charming harbour views with professional organisation - popular with runners who want a scenic race without straying too far from the city centre.
Head inland and the terrain shifts. In the Okanagan, summer races weave through vineyards, orchards and lakeside paths around places like Kelowna. These events often carry a more relaxed feel, but the heat and hills still offer a good test. Many races in the interior provide extra logistics support—like shuttles for point-to-point courses—especially when elevation changes or remoteness are a factor.
Then there are the mountain events. These take things up a notch, both literally and figuratively. Whistler, for example, offers alpine scenery that rivals any race in the country, but you’ll earn those views with a few tough climbs along the way.
From grassroots community events to big-city races with thousands at the start line, British Columbia’s half marathon calendar has space for every kind of runner. Some come for speed, some for the scenery—but most leave already thinking about the next one.
