2024 Handloggers Half Marathon

The eleventh annual Handloggers Half Marathon and Relay is on Saturday, August 31 2024.

This mountain trail run is a challenging 21km counter clockwise loop around Mt. Gardner. To get an idea of our beautiful course - check out our 2017 event video!

The race will be a single start event with chip timing. The run begins at 9 am and starts/finishes near the ferry dock in Snug Cove, Bowen Island.

Pre-race check in begins at 8am on event day. Runners coming from off island should plan to take the 8am ferry from Horseshoe Bay to ensure adequate time to fill out the waiver form and pick up race numbers.

This run can be completed individually or as a relay in a team of three, with handoffs at each of the aid stations. Be sure to check your preferred option when you register.

There will be drinks, snacks and great prizes available at the finish line, as well as three aid stations on the course. Please note that Handloggers will be CUP FREE - please bring your own re-useable cup for use at aid stations and finish line.

The Handloggers Half Marathon raises funds in support of Bowen Island Trail Society and other worthy causes which benefit members of the Bowen Island community.

Our 2024 event is currently sold out - please contact us to be added to the waitlist or if you wish to transfer your registration to the waitlist if you are not planning to run. Thank you
