The Marathon Shuffle takes place on the last Sunday of every April. The event is free but, to help maintain trails and cabins, as well as other related expenses, a donation to PAWS (Powell River Parks and Wilderness Society) is encouraged.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to high volume, this year the number of participants is capped at 300 (for the full and half shuffle combined). Please ensure that you register online ASAP to avoid disappointment. If you register and find out that you CANNOT make it, please contact sunshinecoasttrailbc@gmail.com to cancel your registration and make room for someone else.
