Fernie is a spectacular destination any time of the year. While many travel to this corner of the Canadian Rockies for the snow, every fall an increasing amount of people come to Fernie to participate in the Fernie Half Marathon. The route is a popular one, taking participants through majestic areas that showcase the amazing scenery and historic aspects of Fernie. Come enjoy a run through the Elk Valley and take in the refreshing mountain air and fall colours.
