About KRC Midsummer 8K 2026
KRC Midsummer 8K brings a summer morning race to Boyce-Gyro Beach in Kelowna, with Lake Okanagan setting the tone for the day. It has been part of the local running scene for more than 30 years.
The 8K is the main feature, alongside shorter race options and a kids’ race. The course is set up for runners who like a steady rhythm and a quick effort on paved lakeside routes.
It also fits neatly into the wider season of road races in Kelowna and summer racing in the Okanagan.
