Great Trek

at UBC

A JAUNT THROUGH MUSQUEAM TERRITORY

The Great Trek in October features races for everyone with a Half Marathon, 10KM and 5KM, plus a Hat-trick option with a bonus prize if you run all three races. Known as the last great race of the year, this event was formerly called the Fall Classic a long time ago. Now in partnership with Musqueam and the University of British Columbia, the Great Trek presented by BlueShore Financial pays homage the Great Trek of 1922, where students marched to their current campus. Join the community and end your running season on a high note – clock a PB time for the year or come just for the fun!

21.1KM, 10KM or 5KM

On Musqueam territory, the Great Trek features gorgeous running routes under colourful fall foliage, and a tour through the beautiful university campus. All three distances share a Start and Finish Line near the AMS Student Nest and the Half Marathon and 10KM routes run out towards the UBC Endowment Lands. Combo all three events for the Hat-trick.
