Race Info
The 10K is an out-and-back run that starts and finishes at the Haida Heritage Centre at Second Beach in Skidegate. The route goes north through Skidegate village, past the totem pole raised in 2017 and the cemetery, and out along Highway 16 to the water station at Balance Rock, where runners turn around just beyond it. It is the shortest of the three distances and starts about ten minutes after the marathon and half marathon, on the Saturday of race weekend.
