Event Update for 2026:
The Mount Robson Marathon event, including the 50km Ultra, is set to Run on September 12th, 2026! We will be offering four options for runners to participate in the 50km Ultra, Half Marathon, Kinney Lake 12km and Flatlander 5km runs. Registration will open on January 31st at 7am (UPDATE: registration sold out in record time and the event is now full).
In 2021 the Berg Lake Trail sustained significant damage after an unprecedented flooding event. It re-opened last summer, and we so happy to once again have access to the full 50km Ultra Marathon route!
The Berg Lake Trail is a world class hiking destination within Mount Robson Provincial Park. All of our running events start at the Mount Robson Welcome Centre and follow the Berg Lake Trail up the Robson River. The Ultra Marathon, takes runners up the trail past Kinney Lake, Whitehorn, Emperor Falls, Berg Lake and to a turnaround point at Robson Pass. The Half Marathon takes runners past Kinney Lake to a turnaround on Kinney Lake Flats. The Kinney Lake 12km run takes runners to a turnaround point at the outflow bridge at Kinney Lake. The Flatlander 5km is mostly flat open road with a small section of wide gently inclining trail at the start of the Berg Lake Trail. All of the runs are out-and-back routes with water/aid stations along the way. There is also a free Kids’ Fun Run around the Mount Robson Info Centre during the day.
All events start and finish at the Mount Robson Info Centre.
