Kootenay’s biggest run is returning next month with new events, prizes, and more.
Organizers say the Kootenays’ most beloved community fun run is back and bigger than ever. The Kootenay Fun 5 celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2025 with what they say is an unforgettable event packed with excitement for all ages and abilities.
Taking place Saturday, May 3, 2025, the 10th annual Kootenay Fun 5 invites participants to hit the streets for a fun and family-friendly 5K – or take it to the next level with the brand new Ultra Marathon event. Designed to bring the community together in the spirit of fitness and fun, officials say this year’s celebration promises to be the largest and most energetic yet.
“This is more than a run – it’s a celebration of 10 years of community, movement, and fun,” say organizers. “Whether you’re here to race, walk, cheer, or eat your way through the food trucks, everyone is welcome!”
Highlights of the 2025 event include:
* Family-friendly 5K and new Ultra Marathon challenge
* Live activities, games, and entertainment
* Incredible prize draws, silent auction and giveaways
* Mr. Mikes and Save On Foods BBQ
* And yes… a free banana for every participant!
Runners can also purchase an official event t-shirt to commemorate the milestone year and show off their Kootenay Fun 5 pride.
