PACE HIGH-5 challenges runners to run an ascent of a minimum of 5,000m elevation gain over a maximum of 7 consecutive days. The race will be open for the month of July and participants have up to 7 days to accomplish 5.000m within the month, however the days must be consecutive, or back-to-back.

We will mail out race swag within a week of participants completing the challenge and announce the prize winners on July 1st.

Fundraising
in 2012 we adapted this motto: "Running feels good. Giving back feels good. Doing both feels GREAT!" and we have been giving back to charities and trail building associations ever since. Each race in our series donates a portion of the entry fees to local charity, as well we host 2-3 runs per year which focus 100% of the fundraising on charity and brings people together in a special way to share adventure and the passion to make a difference. To day, PACE Trail Runs has helped raise over $84,600.
PACE High Five support the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA). CMHA facilitates access to the resources people require to maintain and improve mental health and community integration, build resilience, and support recovery from mental illness. As runners, we know how important it is to connect with nature, get outside and blaze the trails to help support our own mental health. By participating in PACE High Five, participants have the opportunity to celebrate the gift of running and give back to those in need.
There is a minimum $50 fundraising component to each entry. Along with accomplishing the vertical challenge, participants are required to raise a minimum of $50 to earn their finishers medal. All fundraising efforts are deeply appreciated and for fun, we have created a prize category for the individual who raises the most!
1. Donate the amount personally, or fundraise and make a one time donation under your name through the CMHA Kelowna website.
2. Please send proof of your donation to hannahpacetrailruns@gmail.com for recording purposes.
