The Tenderfoot Boogie on June 19, 2027 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. 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).
We are fundraising for Zero Ceiling charity organization based in Whistler!
Your support helps youth access the outdoors!
Raise or donate $25 or more for your chance to wins some amazing door prizes. The more you raise, the greater your chances of winning. We have hotel stays, adventure tours, running gear, experiences, and more!
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. Read the 2025 Impact Report.
Help empower youth today by making a donation through our race registration page: Raise money, form fundraising teams, and win prizes! The more funds you raise increases your prize eligibility. We have some special prizes just for Zero Ceiling fundraising, but you must donate through our race registration page or during your registration.
There is a $5 donation to Whistler Off Road Cycling Association (WORCA) included in every registration to support ongoing trail management. Donate to WORCA to support their ongoing advocacy and trail work.
