Fort Langley Historic Half Marathon
In 2027 the Fort Langley Historic Half takes place on Sunday, February 21st. It includes 5K, 10K and Half Marathon distances.
The course begins and ends in Fort Langley and follows portions of the popular Fort-to-Fort Trail, winding through Derby Reach Regional Park and alongside the Fraser River. The largely flat terrain and natural surroundings create an enjoyable, rural running experience, with river views, forested paths, and open farmland scenery along the way.
Because the route is both picturesque and relatively gentle, it appeals to runners seeking either a fast time or a relaxed, scenic outing.
The Fort Langley Historic Half is one of several races organized by Try Events throughout the year. Other popular runs in the series include the Chilly Chase, Chocolate Run, Shamrock’n Race, Rubber Ducky Race, Boundary Bay Marathon and Vancouver Historic Half.

Post-race celebrations typically include music, refreshments and prize giveaways, helping create a festive environment at the finish area.
The race also serves as a gathering point for local running clubs, families, and visiting runners exploring Fort Langley for the day.
