Whistler Mud Run | Tough Mudder June 15-16, 2019
The Whistler Tough Mudder series is back in June 2019. If your average marathon isn’t enough then the Tough Mudder is for you. Participant’s on the 10-mile Tough Mudder course wade through waist-deep mud, crawl under barbed wire, submerge themselves in ice water and jump through fire. Tough Mudder is the ultimate test of strength, stamina, mental grit and camaraderie. It’s almost as much fun for spectators as those taking part! This year there is also a new category, the Tough Mudder 5K!

The bears have crawled out of their hibernation holes and are out and about in the Whistler area. Throughout the month of June, Whistler offers 3-hour tours for those wanting to get a glimpse of these magnificent animals. The June tours start at 7:30am, 12pm, and 6pm. After all, no trip to the West Coast is complete without being able to boast about your close encounter with a black bear!
