For many runners out there, the 5 Peaks Trail Series is their first introduction the trail running world. 5 Peaks have been around for over 25 years and offer introductory race distances that appeal to both veterans and first timers. We always recommend them as a place for people to start... and if you're not ready to race, there's always the need for volunteers... so you can see what they're all about
Capra has some pretty deep connections with 5 Peaks. Solana was the Race Director of the BC series for 8 years (before Capra), and Dave Melanson (the current race director) is a really close friend of ours - and oh ya, Mike may have won a dozen or so 5 Peaks races.
Now, if you're looking to take things to the next level, 5 Peaks offers an epic multi-day event in Revelstoke at the end of August, called the TranSelkirks Run. You can choose from several options: a stand alone 25km or 50km, or take on a 3 day stage race!
