Knee Knackering North Shore Trail Run 2026

Knee Knackering North Shore Trail Run 2026 is set for July 11, 2026 on Vancouver’s North Shore. The race covers 30 miles on a point-to-point trail route, beginning near the Nelson Canyon Park / Whyte Lake trailhead area in West Vancouver and finishing at Panorama Park in Deep Cove.

It’s a classic North Shore mountain day: sustained climbing, rugged forest trail, and a route that asks for steady pacing more than speed. The finish in Deep Cove gives runners a clear endpoint after a demanding traverse across one of the region’s best-known trail corridors.

For runners looking for a long trail challenge in BC, this sits squarely in the technical mountain category, with the Baden-Powell trail forming the backbone of the course.

For runners comparing local trail options, it fits alongside other trail races in North Vancouver.

The course follows the Baden-Powell trail across the North Shore Mountains, moving from the West Vancouver side toward a sea-level finish at Panorama Park in Deep Cove. Expect sustained climbing and descending on rugged forest trail, with a technical mountain profile rather than a fast runnable route.

The race uses a point-to-point setup, so start and finish are in different locations. The route is built around a full traverse of the North Shore terrain, with aid checkpoints along the way.
