BOWEN ISLAND TRAIL SOCIETY

Bowen Island has an extensive network of scenic parks and trails on municipal and crown lands. Handloggers Half Marathon showcases some of the best of Bowen Island’s trails, mountain views, bluffs, single track, and a few burly creek beds too while passing through Crippen Regional Park and much of the Mount Gardner crown reserve.  

As avid trail users, the race organizers, volunteers, and participants have a vested interest in maintaining and expanding the Island’s trail network for future generations. Our race raises funds in support of the Bowen Island Trail Society (BITS) for investment in trail maintenance and development on Bowen Island.
