Welcome to the 14th annual PR Fort Langley Half & 5 Km, presented by Peninsula Runners and Garrison Running Co. We have designed the course to be the most scenic half marathon in the country! The course starts and finishes at the historic Fort in Fort Langley, does a short tour through the town site before heading out into the surrounding countryside and rolling hills. Part of the route traces the historic Hudson’s Bay Co. “Telegraph Trail”. You will also pass Western Canada’s 2nd largest Horse Park, Thunderbird Show Park, as well as the Driediger Farms Strawberry Fields. After running on the quiet rural roads you will return to the finish line at the Old Apple Orchard by the historic Fort. The 5 km route will be through the quiet streets of historic Fort Langley with some gentle up & downs.

In the 5 km only the overall top 3 men & women will get a prize.

All participants in both races will receive a unique PR Fort Langley t-shirt to prove you conquered the route.

½ Marathon Course

The race starts and finishes at the Fort Langley National Historic Site located in Fort Langley. The course does a short loop (1K) before heading south on Bay Street to Glover Road for 1 km. You will then turn left onto Rawlison Crescent and follow this road until it meets River Road (3.5 km). The route will go East on River road for 700 meters before turning onto Armstrong. The hill on Armstrong will be the most challenging part of the route. At 80th Ave you will proceed to Telegraph Trail and run on this historic road for 1.8 km until you reach 72 Ave. Here you will head west for 1.6 km to 240th Street. You will go north for 2.4 km to Rawlison Crescent where now you will proceed back to the finish via Glover Road and Bay Street. It should be noted this course is challenging but very scenic. The main hill occurs at 8k on Armstrong road and rewards you with majestic views of Mt Baker as you summit. The last 11k of the route is slightly rolling, downhill and flat and will reward those who pace themselves with a fast time.
