The Coldwater Classic is returning to the Thompson-Nicola Valley on July 13 + 14, 2024, and you don't want to miss it!
Lace up your running shoes or jump on your bike and take on a 10 km or 26 km race that will have you reveling in the ever-changing landscapes and incredible mountain views. Putting in the work to gain elevation early on, you will be rewarded with incredible scenery changing from wide paths in flowery meadows to singletrack in a deadwood forest.

If you're one of the wild ones who love a challenge of any sort, sign up for a running race on Saturday, and a biking race on Sunday. The running and XC biking routes are the same trails, so if you choose the same distance in both, you will be shredding two loops of the same fantastic trail. Mix and match or take on the extremes in both if you love the burn!
PRIZES: If you podium in any of the races (top 3 spots), you will be going home with a prize valued at $200+!
Minors Under 13 are welcome to participate in the 10 KM distances when accompanied by a parent/guardian who has ensured they are skilled enough to complete the course! We welcome the young runners and riders and celebrate their dedication to the sport. Please fill out the form below and upon completion, email [email protected] if you are signing up a minor for instructions on how to do so.
