Boost This Run

The 5 Peaks event at Bowmont Park is the third event in the Central Alberta race series.

This race on the scenic trails of Bowmont Park in northwest Calgary overlooks the beautiful Bow River. Bowmont Park offers a singletrack focused route that will challenge runners with punchy climbs and fast descents.  The reward? Beautiful Bow River valley and city skyline views. Distances for all ages, abilities, and ambitions.

The Bowmont Park race starts in Varsity Village Park next to Christine Meikle school. Runners begin with a traverse west along local favourite trail, Sideshow Bob. Built into the side of a cliff, Sideshow Bob offers spectacular views of the valley and river below. Dropping into Dale Hodges Park, runners will briefly head east on singletrack before looping west through the park and connecting to trails running parallel to the Bow River. Arriving at Silverthorn Park, Sport runners will begin their return trip to the start. Enduro runners will experience a loop further east, packed full of beautiful river and valley views, before connecting with the same final stretch as the Sport runners. Be prepared for plenty of rolling hills, a few steep climbs, descents and heat.
