The Tenderfoot Boogie on June 20, 2025 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).
New for this year - we are fundraising for Zero Ceiling charity organization based in Whistler!
Your support helps youth access the outdoors!
Each year, 200–300 youth who have experienced marginalization (aged 16–27) from the Lower Mainland, Metro Vancouver, and the Sea to Sky Corridor take part in Zero Ceiling free on-mountain programs. Through skiing, snowboarding, hiking, and mountain biking, youth get active, build confidence, and develop a sense of connection and belonging. Help empower youth today by making a donation.
Raise money, form fundraising teams, and win prizes! The more funds you raise increases your prize eligibility.
There is a $5 donation to WORCA included in every registration to support ongoing trail management. Donate to WORCA to support their ongoing advocacy and trail work.
We are grateful to run The Tenderfoot Boogie Trail Race on the Unceded Traditional Territories of the Líl̓wat and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh First Nations.
