2027 PACE CHARITY RUN 35KM WILDHORSE TRAVERSE PRE-RUN
Join us for a special 35km point-to-point run along the Wildhorse Traverse course, through the rugged and beautiful terrain of Okanagan Mountain Provincial Park.
This is more than a training run. It’s a day on the trails with our PACE community while raising funds for two organizations doing meaningful work right here at home.

THE ROUTE
Participants will run approximately 35km of the Wildhorse Traverse course, finishing on the Penticton side.
This is a challenging and remote route, so please choose your pace group based on your expected finishing time:
Back of Pack: Allow approximately 6.5 hours
Mid to Back of Pack: Allow approximately 5 hours
Mid to Front of Pack: Allow approximately 4 hours
POINT-TO-POINT LOGISTICS
Participants will leave their vehicles on the Kelowna side before we begin our run.
After finishing, we’ll gather for lunch in Penticton before taking a shuttle back to our vehicles in Kelowna. Shuttle transportation is included.
Everyone will also receive a participant bag filled with treats and a few PACE goodies for the day.
PARTICIPANT REQUIREMENTS
This is a remote and physically demanding route. All participants must arrive properly trained and prepared for the distance, elevation and terrain.
Our coaching team will check in with participants during the final weeks leading into the event. If we feel you are not adequately prepared to safely complete the 35km route, we may move you to an alternate route.
This is to ensure a safe and positive experience for you, our team and the rest of the group.
OUR PURPOSE
The PACE Charity Run is about using something we love — running in beautiful, challenging places — to give back to our community.
For 2027, we’ll be raising funds for the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) and Friends of the South Slopes (FOSS) in support of Okanagan Mountain Provincial Park. Both organizations make a positive contribution to our community and share values that are important to us at PACE.
FUNDRAISING
Each participant is required to raise or donate a minimum of $150 to participate.
Funds raised will be divided equally:
50% — Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA)
50% — Friends of the South Slopes (FOSS) future trail and development within Okanagan Mountain Provincial Park.
Fundraising deadlines and additional details will be provided once registration opens. And because a little friendly competition never hurts, our top fundraiser will receive a Salomon prize pack!
TAX RECEIPTS
Donations will be processed through CHIMP / Charitable Impact Foundation, with eligible tax receipts issued directly through the platform.
REGISTRATION
Registration for our 2027 PACE Charity Run will open in the new year and will be limited to 50 participants.
Check back for registration and fundraising details.
POST-RUN LUNCH
Once everyone reaches the finish, we’ll celebrate together over lunch at a restaurant or pub in Penticton.
Lunch is not included, and each participant will be responsible for their own food and drinks. After lunch, our shuttle will take everyone back to their vehicles on the Kelowna side.
