Nanaimo

Nanaimo's running and cycling scene centers on Vancouver Island's terrain—coastal flats mixed with forest trails and lake loops. The Burnt Bridge Classic doubles as the 2026 Canadian Gravel Championships, drawing serious gravel cyclists to the Island's mixed-surface network, while the Vancouver Island Trail Running Series brings trail runners to nearby Ladysmith for technical 20km efforts. Westwood Lake offers flat parkrun-style 5km courses, and local BMX racing at the Nanaimo BMX Canada Cup keeps the cycling community sharp on technical terrain year-round.
