Hypothermic Half Marathon 2026 - Kelowna

The Hypothermic Half Marathon is a celebrated winter running event organized by the Running Room, designed to keep runners motivated and active during the colder months. Taking place in multiple Canadian cities, the event is renowned for its friendly atmosphere, unique winter challenge, and community spirit. In Kelowna, the 2026 edition is scheduled for February 8, 2026, and welcomes runners of all levels to participate in a scenic and invigorating race experience.

The Kelowna event starts and finishes at Mission Creek Greenway Regional Park, offering participants a choice of three distances: Half Marathon (21.1 km), 10 km, and 5 km. There is also a virtual option for those who prefer to run on their own schedule. The event is chip-timed, and all in-person finishers receive a commemorative medal and souvenir. A post-race brunch at Original Joe's adds to the festive atmosphere, making it a highlight of the winter running calendar in British Columbia.
