Nimble Bear

Cancelled for 2024 due to wildfire damage
50km, 25km

Most of our beloved Nimble Bear race course was destroyed in the 2023 McDougall Creek wildfire that started near West Kelowna on August 15, 2023. We are devastated, yet determined to support our community through this tough time and bring back Nimble Bear better than ever as soon as we can.

P.A.C.E. Trail Runs hosts a variety of events in beautiful British Columbia. We are a small, family owned series whose goal is simple. To offer runners a professional, memorable, scenic and challenging race series that feels inclusive, welcoming and rewarding. 

We work hard to keep our events on the 'grass roots' side of things. We are all about those special handmade, home grown touches; apple pies, jams, handmade ceramic finishers medals, handmade stained glass, coffee (roasted by the race director and her husband) and ensuring runners have an experience that feels more like coming home or a family reunion. 

We have strong environmental & community values, such as composting, recycling and we support local charities and donate a portion of our race fees back to the trail groups that build, maintain and advocate for the trails we are so privileged to enjoy. 

We want to thank you for taking time to visit the P.A.C.E. Trail Runs website and we hope to welcome you into the #pacefamily in 2024.
