Description

  • REVEL Chilliwack Marathon

    The REVEL Chilliwack marathon course offers the pinnacle of British Columbia beauty, including breathtaking views of the forests and peaks of the upper Fraser Valley. Runners will enjoy the fresh scent of towering pines, firs, maples, and cedars, glimpses of mountain wildlife, and the accompanying rush of the Chilliwack River. If that were not enough, the course is entirely downhill on paved roadway and is a Boston Marathon qualifier!

    The marathon begins near the pristine northern shore of Chilliwack Lake roughly 40 km / 25 miles up Chilliwack Lake Road. Standing at 660 m / 2,166 ft above sea level and enveloped in the shadow of Thompson Peak to the east, runners will experience the majesty of the summer sunrise in one of Canada's most picturesque backdrops. The course drops roughly 640 meters / 2,100 feet in a blissfully smooth and consistent downhill slope averaging a 1.52% grade.

    Running west from the start line on Chilliwack Lake Road, the course parallels the US/Canadian border less than ten miles away. With the sun at their backs, runners will make their way through a tunnel of classic British Columbia foliage as they pass Goat Peak, Williams Peak, and Welches Peak to the north, and Mt Corriveau, Mt Rexford, and Slesse Mountain to the south. The summer snow melt will add to the beauty of the course as the deep blue glacial waters of the Chilliwack River roll downhill right next to the route for nearly 40 km / 25 miles.

    With just over one mile to go runners will pass the famous and newly renovated Vedder Bridge which connects Chilliwack with the Cultus Lake area. Turning north onto Vedder Road, the course makes its way through Vedder Crossing before taking a final jaunt east on Promontory Road then south on Thomas Road to the finish venue at the GW Graham School complex.

    This incredible race will be the best PR and BQ opportunity you will ever have. Combine the fast course with the raw beauty of British Columbia mountains in the summer and you get an event that can't be beat. REVEL Chilliwack is the fastest and most beautiful marathon in Canada!
