There are many great trail running routes that are right on the outskirts of town, so you can easily run to the trailhead from wherever you are staying.

The Tumbler Point Trail is a favourite among locals. The TR Trail links many of these trails together for a challenging 28 km run, and has multiple access points.

The Murray Canyon Overlook and Tepee Falls trails are both excellent for trail running at 6 km each, and are a 25 minute drive from town.

Bergeron Falls is a great running trail to the highest accessible waterfall in the area. Drive or bike to the trailhead, 16 km from town. You can combine this with the Bergeron Cliffs trail for an even more adventurous run.

All of these trail runs lead to Geosites within the Tumbler Ridge Global Geopark

5 km Road Running Route 

The circuit of Mackenzie Way, Willow Drive,  Monkman Way and Hwy 29 is a great flat running route that is 5 km long. The Hwy 29  section has street lights on it, so the entire  route is lit at night. 

‍

10 km Road Running Route 

For a 10 km running route, head north on  Mackenzie Way and turn right onto Hwy 52.  This highway has very little traffic. It does  have an uphill section followed by a long  flat, then a downhill section before it comes  to a T junction at Hwy 29. Turn right here,  run past the first entrance to town  (Mackenzie Way), and turn right into town  on Monkman Way. Take the first right onto  Southgate, and follow this road back to your  starting place.
