About this Course

From West Shawnigan Lake Park to Cowichan Lake, walk or run the full marathon (42.2 KM) for the charity of your choice along the Cowichan Valley Trail, an established section of "The Great Trail," built along a former rail bed. Featured highlights of the route include crossing several historic rail bridges including the Kinsol Trestle, traversing rural Cowichan countryside and experiencing the lush, green canopy of the Cowichan River Provincial Park. Encouraging participants along the way will be volunteers at strategically located rest stops to provide food and beverage recharging, access to portable toilets, and basic medical attention as may be needed. Shuttles will connect the finish to the start, though participants are encouraged to arrange their own transportation (drop-off and pick-ups).
