Dirty Feet Trestle Run 2026

The Dirty Feet Trestle Run returns to Kelowna on September 20, 2026. Presented under the Dirty Feet banner, this fall running event brings a community-focused race day to British Columbia’s Okanagan region. The 2026 edition continues the series’ tradition of staging an accessible, locally minded running event in and around Kelowna.

The Trestle Run is a single-day race held in mid-September. Race day format, distances and start-time details vary by year; entrants should plan for a compact race-day schedule that folds into a morning-to-afternoon community gathering. The event typically attracts a mix of neighborhood runners, club athletes and visiting road and trail enthusiasts who come for a crisp, late-season run in the Okanagan.

What sets the Dirty Feet Trestle Run apart is its local focus and timing: a post-summer run that taps into Kelowna’s active community while taking advantage of stable fall weather. The event emphasizes a friendly, grassroots vibe that keeps things efficient on race day — straightforward logistics, neighborhood support and a finish-area atmosphere that encourages lingering with fellow runners. As part of Dirty Feet’s calendar, the Trestle Run slots into a broader offering of community races around the province and serves as an approachable option for runners looking to close out the season.
