SORRY FOR THE DELAY. WE WILL BE OPENING REGISTRATION SOON!!

You won't want to miss out on this FUN....

One race, Four events!

Run 5K, 10K or Combo and have your kids run the Kids Race

We are excited to welcome you to the beauty and tranquility of the Glenora area including the Trans Canada Trail and the Zanatta Estate Winery (proud to be Vancouver Island's 1st Estate Winery).

This fun 4-in-1 event has become a tradition for many and is a great way to kick off the Halloween season. Lots of folks run in their favorite costumes! There will be prizes for Best Group and Individual costumes. Participants can choose to do the 5K, 10K, or Combo (5K AND 10K), and your little ones will love our kids race!

Start /Times:

How does the Combo work? Well, if you like to be DIFFERENT, and love a CHALLENGE, run the COMBO! You start with the 5K at 9:30 AM and then toe the line for the 10K at 10:15 AM for a total of 15K.

At 10:30 AM, kids aged 1–10 will start their <1 Km dash through the vineyards. Each runner gets their own bib and a special finisher’s treat.
