The Day - Saturday September 8, 2012

There will be both a "full marathon" (actually 46km/28.75mi, or nearly 4km longer than a true marathon) and a half marathon (21.1km/13.3mi) on the world-famous Berg Lake Trail. These will be out-and-back runs starting at the Mount Robson Visitor Centre.

For non-endurance runners there will be a 12km run to Kinney Lake and back, and a 6.5km run up to the top of Lookout Hill and back. For children aged 5-12 there will be 3/4km and 1.5km fun runs around the nature trail near the Visitor Centre.

Registration for all events will open on Saturday May 12 at 10:00am and is being done through the Running Room on-line registration system. Event entry fees are $45 for full marathon, $35 for half marathon, $25 for 12km Kinney, and $20 for Lookout Hill, plus applicable Running Room service charge. Kids' fun runs are free.

When registering, participants in all runs will be able to purchase a "participants only" running shirt (synthetic quick-dry material). The shirt features a stylized image of Mount Robson on the front and logos of all the event sponsors on the back. The men's shirt can be seen by clicking here and the women's by clicking here. The shirts will only be available as short-sleeve in black with white mesh inserts, and will sell for $40 each.

In addition to the races there will be other activities for all ages and interests taking place in and around the Visitor Centre throughout the day. The schedule of running events for the day is
