Recurring 10K races near Bellingham
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
Live Love Run 21K, 10K, 5K & 1K
Live Love Run begins and ends at Brae Island Regional Park in Fort Langley, Langley Township, British Columbia. The event takes place in October, offering 21K, 10K, 5K, 1K, and virtual race options. Participants can select distances ranging from a short family run to a half-marathon-length trail race. The in-person event has a limit of 300 participants and has previously sold out.
The course utilizes the Fort-to-Fort Trail alongside the Fraser River, crossing the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Kwantlen First Nations. Stroller-friendly routes are available, providing accessibility for families. Aid stations and finisher medals are part of the standard race day setup. This marks the 14th annual running of the event, which supports breast cancer survivors and ABreast In A Boat, a dragon boat team associated with the cause.
VALLEY VERTIKILLER TRAIL RACE 2026
The Valley Vertikiller Trail Race offers three distances on Sumas Mountain in Abbotsford, British Columbia: 10 km, 20 km, and 30 km loop courses. All start from Taggart Road in October. Most of the running is on technical single-track, requiring trail skills and fitness even for the shortest option. The 30 km route is the most challenging, with nearly 1,500 m of climbing and a push to the peak of Sumas Mountain. The 20 km course retains much of the mountain's character with nearly 1,000 m of gain. The 10 km “Cuddler” still climbs 400 m and stays mostly on flowy forest trail.
The longer courses go past Chadsey Lake, climb toward or to the Sumas Mountain summit, and use the Eastern Lookout as an aid station. The 30 km includes raging creeks, several viewpoints, and a technical descent after the main climb. Teams of five or more can enter the 30 km Team Challenge, where the fastest five times determine the team result; the winning team receives cash and a trophy spot. All distances feature stocked aid stations, catered finish-line food, custom racer swag, draw prizes, podium and cash awards for the top three, and rewards for new course records. FatDog 120 Race Management organizes the event, with proceeds supporting Central Fraser Valley Search and Rescue.
Granville Island Turkey Trot
The Granville Island Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving Monday 10K race in Vancouver, beginning and ending on Granville Island. This community event has a 2,000-runner limit, with a Kids’ Run capped at 200 participants, and it typically sells out.
The route departs Granville Island, circles the Burrard Bridge, heads to the Seawall, turns at Science World, and comes back along the water to Granville Island. Participants can give directly or fundraise for local Food Banks, reinforcing the Thanksgiving theme. The event calls itself “Vancouver’s last great run of the year.”
Seawall Classic
Second Beach in Stanley Park hosts the Seawall Classic, a fall 10K in Vancouver that guides runners along the park shoreline. The main race begins at 10:00 AM, employs chip timing, and takes place on a certified, measured course designed for those aiming for a personal best. It is part of the Running is Awesome Kamino Race Series, supported by Vancouver Is Awesome and Kamino Running Co.
The route is straightforward: flat road running alongside the water, offering ocean views and a clear objective. Competitive runners can vie for podium prizes, while less experienced participants can complete a simple 10K with live results, on-course photos, a finisher medal, and post-race refreshments. Families can participate via a free, bibbed 1K Kids Race, which is unchipped but includes a finisher medal for children.
Hallows Eve 2026
Hallows Eve is a North Vancouver, BC trail race series centered on costumes, early starts, and the North Shore woods. Runners can choose a 42 km marathon, a 22 km half marathon, or a 10 km race. The longer events start before sunrise, and the 10K follows in the morning.
The marathon begins at Inter River Park, at the base of Lynn Creek, sending runners onto difficult North Shore trails described as gruesome and ghastly. Racers receive aid stations, a pre-race orientation run, and a finisher medal, plus costume awards. They must carry their own cup or bottle as the events are cup-less.
2026 Vancouver First Responders Half Marathon- Trail Edition
The Vancouver First Responders Half Marathon - Trail Edition is an autumn trail race in Vancouver, British Columbia, serving as the off-road version of the First Responders running series. Participants can select from a 21.1 km half marathon, a 10K, or a 5K. The half marathon course consists of two identical laps.
The race includes a team option for the 21K and 10K distances, where four runners compete as a unit, with the team's overall time determined by the average of their individual finish times. The event's history dates back to the mid-2010s. Package pickup occurs the day before the race at The Right Shoe. Race morning features a mandatory briefing prior to the staggered start of the three distances, beginning with the longest and concluding with the shortest.
SCPC Vancouver Historic 5K, 10K & Half Marathon
The SCPC Vancouver Historic 5K, 10K & Half Marathon takes place on Stanley Park’s paved Seawall, a well-known Vancouver route encircling the park's perimeter. Participants can select a 5K, 10K, or half marathon, accommodating walkers, casual runners, and those seeking a longer timed competition. The event utilizes shoe-tag timing, a finish-line clock, and in-person results, with tags gathered post-finish.
The course traces the Seawall along Stanley Park’s northern, western, and southern shores, offering clear vistas of downtown Vancouver, the North Shore mountains, and the Lions Gate Bridge. Stanley Park, Vancouver’s original park, spans 400 hectares, placing the race alongside forests of cedar, hemlock, and fir, as well as the coastline. The event maintains a practical local-race atmosphere, featuring a group warm-up led by The Morgan Method, no race-day registration, and a Yellow Bib option for participants entering after standard merchandise and medals are gone.
Fairhaven Frosty 5K & 10K
The Fairhaven Frosty 5K & 10K is a December road race in Bellingham, Washington, offering a 5K or 10K option. The name reflects its winter timing, and the format is straightforward: two standard race distances on the same day.
The listing provides no course specifics beyond Bellingham. Results are managed via Webscorer, indicating a standard timed community event.
The Big Elf Run
The Big Elf Run is a holiday fun run in Vancouver's Stanley Park, starting at Lumberman's Arch in December. It includes a 1k Wee Elf Run for children, and 5k, 10k, and 15k distances, accommodating families, walkers, beginners, and experienced runners. Participants receive a personalized bib with a custom Elf Name, an Elf Toque costume piece, and a wooden ornament medal crafted in British Columbia.
The route follows Stanley Park trails, primarily paved paths and seawall segments, with minimal hills and loops for the longer races. Runners depart from Lumberman's Arch, accessing the seawall near Coal Harbour and Burrard Inlet. The event welcomes strollers and pets, provides a water station, and features a DJ, entertainment, vendors, prize draws, and a photo station before the race. It also benefits a charity, aligning with the holiday spirit.
2027 Goddess Run Events presented by Cathy Noel, DFH Real Estate Ltd
At Beaver / Elk Lake in Saanich, near Victoria, BC, the Goddess Run offers a 5K or 10K race with a straightforward approach: run, walk, or skip to the finish. Cathy Noel of DFH Real Estate Ltd. presents this live event, scheduled for early March.
Participants can also choose a virtual option with 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon distances, to be completed in one day or over a couple of months. The event benefits Victoria Hospice and Victoria Women’s Transition House, with a fundraising target. Registration provides a lilac long-sleeved technical half-zip, race bib, and finisher medal. This is the sixteenth annual edition of the series; since its inception, almost 15,000 participants have finished, contributing over CA$300,000 to charity.

About 10K races in Bellingham
Bellingham Training Notes
Bellingham hosts 20 10K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals run the waterfront when they want flat rhythm and bay views. Fairhaven gives easy access to the Interurban Trail, and that line runs from Fairhaven out toward Chuckanut. South Bay Trail travels along Bellingham Bay and crosses Taylor Dock over the bay. Long-run days link Zuanich Park, Boulevard Park, Fairhaven Park, Sehome Hill, Connelly Creek Nature Area, Whatcom Falls Park, Railroad Trail, Whatcom Creek Trail, and Sunnyland. Greater Bellingham Running Club anchors the scene with races like Gale Pfueller Track Classic and Fairhaven Frosty 5K & 10K. Bellingham Bay Marathon gives marathoners the local anchor at 42.82 km.
Locals ride everything here, from road Z2 to gravel gran fondo pace to Galbraith singletrack. Galbraith Mountain sets the mountain-bike tone, and WMBC keeps the trail community visible. The route runs 6 km and climbs 1,118 m, so it works when you want a real gravel day. Another route runs 6 km and climbs 349 m with punchy climbs and some MTB singletrack. That stretch runs 6 km, and locals talk about it with respect. Chuckanut, Blanchard, Stewart Mountain, Yew Street Hill, Alabama Hill, and Mount Baker hold the climbs. Singlespeed Cyclocross World Championships, Lake Whatcom Triathlon, and Padden Triathlon give the calendar some bite.
Spring, summer, and fall give Bellingham the cleanest training rhythm for running, riding, intervals, and base miles. Summer stays mild most years, and dry spells can make Galbraith, Chuckanut, and the Interurban feel fast. Locals use the waterfront, Lake Padden, Whatcom Falls Park, and Fairhaven when they want steady miles without overthinking it. Winter brings rain and colder temps, but riders still go year-round and layer a bit more. Tree-covered trails usually stay nice through winter, while higher Galbraith and Chuckanut elevations can get snow for a few days or a week. Bigger jump lines often take a soft close, so winter shifts more toward Z2, trail runs, gravel, and digging days.
