Run Squamish is a local not-for-profit trail running organization. We've been putting on trail running events since 2005. We are run by the local community and for the local community.
Our Events
For a third year in a row we will not be hosting Loop the Lakes. Our flagship event hopes to return in 2023! Our famous kids race will be on the same day.

Kids Race - FREE
The Loop the Lakes kids race is a FREE event for all the kids in the community as well as the children of our volunteers, racers and community. The kids event is approximately 1km long as it takes the kids around the lake. Don’t think your kid can make it? Don’t worry! You can do it with them, you can push your kids in their stroller, you can carry them – this event is about fun. All kids get a bib saying they raced in the event and all kids and helpers get a prize at the end. The start time for the kids event is variable, but we ask all kids to be registered by 10am. All kids must pick up their bibs at the kids registration desk. The kids event will start some time between 10:30am and 11am depending on the finishing rate of the other races.
Our Team
Founded in 2014, Run Squamish, was formally created as a non-profit organization with a local board of directors.

The Give Back Program is Run Squamish’s way of providing the Sea-to-Sky community with opportunities for creating a positive impact for all its individuals. Through grants and scholarships, the Program can better support a variety of programs and/or services that are of direct benefit to the broader community. Whether it is an athlete looking for assistance for their next adventure and goal or a key community establishment looking to expand it, the Program is willing to lend a hand. Individuals and businesses will be able to apply for funding from the Program through an online application.
Partnerships and financial support to the Give Back come directly from Run Squamish’s partners and from event proceeds. Contact us for more details.
