Birch Bay Road Race

Peninsula Runners Langley Spring 2026 Half and Full Marathon run group AKA the 301 group meets twice a week on Saturday mornings and also Wednesday nights. The first Saturday being January 10th and the first Wednesday is January 7th, 2026. This session is geared towards the BMO Half and Full Marathon on May 3, 2025. We will help get you to the starting line ready and eager to finish strongly. Peninsula Runners has been successfully running run groups since we first opened in 2001. Everyone is welcome to join us.

Long runs are Saturday at 7 AM (7.30 AM for the first six weeks) while the Wednesday workouts start at either 5.15 or 6.00. Wednesdays are key workouts to help you become a stronger more complete runner. You should be able to run at least 40 minutes for the half or 60 minutes for the marathon before the first long run.

FYI we also have a power walking group heading out on Saturdays for those who prefer to walk either a 10 K (Sun Run) or a half marathon.

Cost of the program is $100 for the spring (or ask at the store about our yearly option). This includes both weekly runs and also a 15% discount on purchases at the store. You will receive two weekly emails from the store and a program outline to help guide you through the program. All runners will receive a Pen Runners shirt to run in.

Running can be challenging and fun at the same time. One of the keys to running with a group like this is that you have others to run with and help you stay motivated and get a little more out of yourself. Our goal is to help prepare you to enjoy running and to finish your goal race.

BARNS TO BEACHES FESTIVAL

A Free Community Bike Ride & Outdoor Music Festival!

Barns to Beaches is a new Bike Route which spans 16 km running from Tsawwassen to Ladner along the shoreline, dike and backcountry farm roads. The Barns to Beaches Festival – taking place June 20, 2026 in Tsawwassen will celebrate cycling with three rides to inspire all ages, a music festival featuring 54-40 and loads of fun!

The rides begin at 10 am. Riders will depart in waves leaving every 10 minutes. Live music starts at 2 pm.

Along the route there are 10 Ride Stations to help celebrate this new route. Each station is hosted by sponsors, volunteers and supporters. The Barns to Beaches Ride is not a race! We encourage you to stop at the Ride Stations, have a free cookie or Krispie square, take a few selfies and enjoy the music and scenery.

Riders doing the Full Course Ride will be rewarded with a special performance by Aaron Wong & the Del-Fi Destroyers: Elvis Tribute at Ride Station # 10 located at Barnside Brewing Co. So you can “Ride for the King”, enjoy a refreshment and then make the trip back to the festival site.

Upon your return to Southlands, you’ll be able to freshen up in the Run Inn Riders’ Lounge before you head out to the festival for great bands, cold craft beers from Four Winds Brewery and other local beverages, delicious food and fun!

After your ride, join us at the festival for great bands, cold craft beers, delicious food and

refreshments. Live music performances start at 2 pm until 9 pm.
