I don't like running but just loved doing these! 👇

I am not a runner, prefer to hike and have time to stop & take pictures 📷🤣 but a friend convinced me to enter this challenge throughout the summer & I don't regret it!

2026 5 Peaks Trail Running Series 5 Peaks Adventures

🏃‍♀️ 'Sport Courses': There are different levels of courses you can do, sport is the easiest, 'enduro' next and then the 'grit' is for the hard-core trail runners. You can also change your distance or even just hike if you don't like running.

🇨🇦 5 BC Provincial Parks: The trails go through the most amazing parks and stunning scenery. The terrain is not easy but a lot of fun

🎽 Top Quality Gear: The swag for taking part in all x5 races is the best I have ever known to be included

📷 Photographs: All event pictures are free to download with amazing backdrops!

A grizzly bear mum and cub encounter ended this one for us! 🐻

Did you spot the grizzly? 🐻

Hi I'm Kimmy | Adventure Travel & Hiking, follow for more hiking adventure inspo like this! 🤗

For our safety, the plans for this one changed...

With our base Valhalla Mountain Touring lodge, we downloaded the KMZ files to navigate this one as this hike doesn't exist on alltrails.

The lodge also offers guided hikes for anyone that isn't confident with their navigation skills.

THE ORIGINAL PLAN:
🚗 Drive from lodge to trailhead
🥾 7.2km return from Trail head to Shannon Lake & Lake Takatori.
🏔 Possibility to do a scramble above Lake Takatori

THE REALITY:
🚗 Roadway bridge was washed out, so left vehicles 1km from trailhead start (added 2km to our hike)
🥾 9.3km return to south end of Shannon Lake only
🐻 Grizzly bear mum and cub appeared at end of Shannon Lake so made the decision to turn back so didn't make it to Takatori Lake or the scramble
🌊 Instead, we did a cold plunge in the Lake!

📌 Shannon Lake Trail, Valhalla Provincial Park
