The Whole Serie 2026

The Whole Serie 2026 opens at Bear Mountain Park in Mission with a trail-running day built around steep, rugged terrain and a compact morning schedule. Runners can choose from 8K, 15K, and 30K distances, with the longer effort doubling the 15K loop.

This is part of a broader Heads Or Trails series that mixes trail running and mountain biking across British Columbia. For runners who like a course with climbing and a strong local trail feel, Bear Mountain is the series opener worth a look.

The event also includes a kids’ race later in the morning, so the day has a community-race feel beyond the main distances.

Bear Mountain uses a trail course on the Bear Mountain network near Mission, with sustained climbs, descents, and technical singletrack. The 30K covers the 15K loop twice.

Start times are staggered by distance, and a kids’ race follows the main events. The published cut-off for the 30K is at Aid Station 3 at 2:30 PM, or 5 hours.
