Snowden Trail Race 2026

The Snowden Trail Race brings runners back into the Snowden Demonstration Forest in Campbell River for a compact spring trail day. Presented by Foveō Running, it keeps a grassroots feel, with forest scenery, community energy, and a clear local purpose.

Two in-person distances are on offer: 11K and 26K. Both use runnable single-track with gentle rollers and soft forest footing, making this a good fit for runners who like a steady trail effort without heavy vert.

The event also supports Campbell River Search & Rescue, with race-day presence on site and a finish-area setup built around food, music, and a relaxed post-run hangout. For more trail options nearby, see Trail races in Campbell River.

Start and finish are at PRT Growing Services Ltd. – Campbell River Nursery on Snowden Camp Rd in Snowden Demonstration Forest. The courses use forest single-track with gentle rollers and soft ground underfoot.

The 11K is about 150 m of gain, while the 26K is about 265 m. Course markings are in place, and runners should plan for limited to no cell coverage at Race Central and along much of the trail network.
