5 Peaks Adventures is one of Canada’s most beloved trail running organizations, fostering a welcoming and adventurous community for runners of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. Founded with a mission to bring people into nature and connect them through trail running, 5 Peaks hosts events across the country, from coast to coast, encouraging exploration, challenge, and joy on some of Canada’s most beautiful trails.

The heart of the organization lies in the 5 Peaks Trail Running Series, a set of five regional races held in distinct geographical zones across Canada. Each event offers a range of distances, from 1 km kids’ runs to the “Grit” category (approximately a half marathon)—ensuring a fun and inclusive experience for families, beginners, and seasoned trail runners alike.

In addition to the Series, 5 Peaks hosts larger-scale trail adventures like the Powderface Mountain Marathon, STOKED ULTRA™, STOKED SCRAMBLE™, and TranSelkirks Run, offering longer, more technical, and truly epic experiences for those seeking to go beyond the half marathon mark.

More than just races, 5 Peaks events are gatherings of like-minded outdoor enthusiasts who value challenge, community, and the beauty of nature. With an active presence on Strava and social media, and a deep connection to partners and charitable causes, 5 Peaks Adventures is a trail running movement, encouraging people to get outside, stay inspired, and always keep moving forward.
