The Loop the Vedder Trail Half Marathon & 10K is a popular annual trail race held in Chilliwack, British Columbia, featuring two race distances: a scenic 21-kilometer half marathon and a fast, accessible 10-kilometer course. Both races start near Vedder Park and follow the flat, gravel Vedder Rotary Trail alongside the river, with the half marathon offering a full loop that includes a bridge crossing, views of the Cascade Mountains, and a short but steep climb near the end. The 10K course shares the early portion of the route before turning back, making it ideal for newer runners or those looking for a quicker challenge. Organized by Peaks & Valleys Event Co., the race emphasizes community and conservation, donating a portion of each registration to the Chilliwack Park Society. Known for its welcoming atmosphere, well-marked trails, and stunning riverside scenery, it’s a favorite among trail and road runners alike.
