The Dirty Feet Trestle Run returns to Kelowna on September 20, 2026. Presented under the Dirty Feet banner, this fall running event brings a community-focused race day to British Columbia’s Okanagan region. The 2026 edition continues the series’ tradition of staging an accessible, locally minded running event in and around Kelowna.

​

The Trestle Run is a single-day race held in mid-September. Race day format, distances and start-time details vary by year; entrants should plan for a compact race-day schedule that folds into a morning-to-afternoon community gathering. The event typically attracts a mix of neighborhood runners, club athletes and visiting road and trail enthusiasts who come for a crisp, late-season run in the Okanagan.

​

What sets the Dirty Feet Trestle Run apart is its local focus and timing: a post-summer run that taps into Kelowna’s active community while taking advantage of stable fall weather. The event emphasizes a friendly, grassroots vibe that keeps things efficient on race day — straightforward logistics, neighborhood support and a finish-area atmosphere that encourages lingering with fellow runners. As part of Dirty Feet’s calendar, the Trestle Run slots into a broader offering of community races around the province and serves as an approachable option for runners looking to close out the season.
