Whistler parkrun

Hello Whistler parkrunners & visitors. Unfortunately parkrun Whistler will not be reopening for the 2022 season due to lack of volunteers & event directors.
If you live in Whistler or nearby and would like to assist in the reopening Whistler parkrun, please reach out to [email protected] for more information on how you can help.
For now you can check out our other parkruns in Richmond, Burnaby, Mundy & soon to be open Ambleside in West Vancouver.
Thank you to all of our amazing volunteers and visitors over the years. We thank you for your support 💜🌳

Hi everyone, it’s been a hot minute! Hope you have all been keeping safe and healthy over the last 18 or so months.
Just to keep you all in the loop unfortunately Whistler parkrun will not be back for 2021. Covid took a while for things to open back up again up here and with our short season we have decided to postpone and re visit opening in the spring of 2022 when things are (hopefully) back to normal again.
Wishing you all a wonderful rest of 2021, stay safe and healthy!
