5 Peaks is the premier trail running company in Canada. Our goal is to provide an exciting atmosphere, a challenging course, a competitive field, and an amazing off road experience, all while practicing & promoting sound environmental ethics.

Each event provides four course lengths. Our Sport course offers entry level participants a challenging, yet manageable race through a 4-8 km trail, while the Enduro course offers racers a variety of 10-17 km runs over some of the country's most spectacular terrain. At select venues in each area we offer a 1/2 Marathon course which will allow racers to challenge themselves over 21km of Canada's most rugged terrain. Children up to 10 years of age are eligible for entry into our Scotiabank Children's Challenge. Girls and boys are encouraged to participate. These are participation events; winning is not rewarded - participation is.
