On September 20th, the serene and picturesque Alice Lake Provincial Park in North Vancouver transformed into a dynamic arena of endurance, determination, and community spirit as it hosted the annual “Be Fearless” Trail Marathon. Recognized as one of the most challenging and scenic trail running events in the region, the marathon attracted athletes, trail runners, and outdoor enthusiasts from across British Columbia and beyond.
The event offered three distinct race categories, thoughtfully designed to accommodate various skill levels and challenge thresholds: the 42 km ultra-marathon, the 21 km half-marathon, and the 11 km short trail run. Each course was meticulously laid out to highlight the natural beauty of Alice Lake Provincial Park, incorporating its dense forests, rolling hills, sparkling lakefronts, and rugged terrain. Participants faced a combination of steep ascents, technical trails, and breathtaking vistas, creating an experience that tested both physical stamina and mental resilience.
Beyond the competitive aspect, the Be Fearless Trail Marathon holds a deeper purpose. This year, the event proudly supported STEPS, a North Vancouver-based initiative focused on empowering youth through community programs, health, and education. Every stride made on the trail contributed not only to personal achievement but also to meaningful social impact, reinforcing the marathon’s ethos of courage, perseverance, and giving back.
Race day was marked by an energetic atmosphere. Families, friends, and volunteers lined the trails, offering encouragement and refreshments to runners at key checkpoints. Local food vendors and activity stations ensured participants and spectators alike enjoyed a full day immersed in nature, community engagement, and the infectious spirit of adventure. Safety and environmental stewardship were also key priorities, with organizers emphasizing sustainable practices, proper trail etiquette, and comprehensive first aid coverage.
The Be Fearless Trail Marathon is more than a race—it is an immersive journey that connects people to the outdoors, challenges them to push boundaries, and celebrates the collective spirit of community. It embodies the courage to face challenges head-on, the joy of exploration, and the reward of achieving personal goals amidst the stunning landscapes of British Columbia.
