Run Comfy Numb Trail Race 2026 returns to Whistler on May 30, 2026. Organized locally by Endurance Specific Events (Endurance Specific Coaching Ltd), Run Comfy Numb has been a fixture in the valley since 2004 and markets itself as Whistler’s OG trail race — a point-to-point test built around the Comfortably Numb trail that the community completed the year the race began.

​

The event runs as a single-day in-person festival with two distances: 50 km (start 7:00 AM) and 25 km (start 7:50 AM with two short wave starts at 7:50 and 7:53). Package pickup takes place Friday, May 29 from 3:00 PM–8:00 PM at Mt Waddington’s Whistler store and again on race morning at the start from 6:00 AM–7:35 AM. Shuttle buses from Spruce Grove Park run from 6:00 AM, looping roughly every 30 minutes with a final shuttle around 7:15 AM. Chip timing is introduced for 2026, enabling accurate splits and the 25K wave starts.

​

What sets Run Comfy Numb apart is its nearly all-singletrack, point-to-point layout with technical black-diamond sections and sweeping valley vistas — a route aimed at seasoned trail runners who want sustained technical terrain rather than wide gravel fire roads. The finish at Spruce Grove Park becomes a low-key après with music, food trucks, free photos and family-friendly activities. On-site recovery offerings include guided ice baths led by a Wim Hof instructor and manual therapy from physios, RMTs and chiropractors. The event operates cupless; runners must carry their own cup, and 50K entrants may leave a drop bag at the 25 km Wedge aid station.

​
