It is easier to complete the race with team mates but you can run it solo if you choose. Teams of 4 participants each run one 5K lap of the main trails looping Thetis Lake. This popular relay, always held on Remembrance Day, is the first race in the Harriers Thetis Lake Trail Series including the Harriers Gunner Shaw 10K Classic on Saturday November 22, 2025 and the Harriers Stewart Mountain 10 Mile/5 Mile Challenge on Sunday December 7, 2025.

Remembrance Day – Tuesday, November 11, 2025 – The race starts at 1:00 pm SHARP near the main beach.

Online registration for 2025 is CLOSED – see you in 2026

Thetis Lake Relay Course Map

8:00 am Saturdays – Saturday morning group trail runs take place every week throughout the year in Thetis Lake Park and Francis King Park.  We meet at 8:00 am at the main Thetis Lake parking lot at the end of Six Mile Road from October through the end of April.  For the warmer months of May through September we meet at the small parking area at Prior Lake on Highland Road.  2025 Update: like last year due to popular demand we will continue to meet at Prior Lake during October.  Some may then drive to the end of Westoby Road to enjoy a different set of trails.

This is the classic Harriers weekly social run.  All runners, dogs and walkers are welcome.  You don't have to be a club member and there is no fee to participate.  If you are unfamiliar with the park trails this is a great way to learn the network.  We sort into groups as numbers and paces warrant.  No one gets left behind.

5:15 pm Tuesdays – Weekly after-work interval workout using various local roads, parks, and trails. Every week is different and everyone is welcome. The faster runners will pick up slower runners on the final lap.

Meet at Cedar Hill Recreation Centre November through April, and at Mount Douglas, Beaver Lake or other locations May through September. Check the schedule for specific workouts.

This amazing, staggered start handicap race where anyone can win often attracts an international field competing for fame and fortune.  Ok, it's just people here for the holidays and some locals competing for quirky prizes and socializing after, but it's a club tradition centred at our founding and namesake venue.  Oh, and it's free and almost everyone gets a prize!  This is your chance to beat the fastees!

As well as the traditional double and single lap road option there is a trail option through nearby parks with a significant steep climb to the summit lookout.

Always on December 26, Boxing Day which in 2025 is a Frisday.

Online registration for 2025 is OPEN
