Bush Babes & Bro’s Trail Running

06/23/2026

We are proud to have The Starting Block as a returning sponsor of our events!

For decades, The Starting Block has been a cornerstone of the running and endurance community in Vernon and the North Okanagan. They've supported athletes of all levels, from “learn to run” runners lacing up for a clinic and their first event, to some of the region’s most accomplished endurance athletes.

More than just a running store, their team is known for helping people find the right shoes, gear, nutrition, and knowledge to support whatever their goals may be.

What we love most is their commitment to community. Whether it's a Bush Babes race, the IRA races, a charity event, or another community initiative, chances are you'll find The Starting Block team there!
Thank you for your continued support of Bush Babes & Bros race series 💚

📍 Be sure to stop by and say hello to their team at our events this season!

🏄‍♀️🚴‍♂️⛰️ Paddle. Pedal. Run. Hike. Play.

In Vernon, adventure isn’t something you save for weekends or vacations—it’s woven into everyday life.

Start the morning with a paddle on the lake. Hit the trails for a ride. Head out for a hike, a round of golf, or an afternoon at the beach. No matter the season, there’s always a reason to get outside.

What makes Vernon so special isn’t just the landscape, it’s the community built around it.

Here, people show up for adventure and for each other. You’ll see cyclists out on local routes, runners on the trails, families at the beach, and friends gathering to make the most of every season.

That sense of connection is a big part of what inspires us at Bush Babes and Bros. Through our events, we get to bring people together, celebrate movement, and share the kind of experiences that make this place so special.

Whether you’re visiting for the weekend or lucky enough to call Vernon home, there’s always something to explore.

That’s why we’re proud to call Vernon one of British Columbia’s best recreation destinations.

Final clinic before race day.
Today was all about testing race-day strategies for Slay the Dragon—pacing, fueling, hydration, and gear. Practice now so there are no surprises on race day.

The hard work is done. Time to recover, trust your training, and get ready to Slay the Dragon. See you at the start line!
