Canadian Running and the Whistler Half-Marathon are offering readers the chance to experience a race weekend like no other. Arguably Canada’s most scenic event, Whistler race weekend is scheduled for June 3 and, for one lucky winner, there’s no doubt that it will be a weekend to remember.
The contest winner, who has the option to race the 5K, 10K, half-marathon or 30K, will, along with a guest, stay at Crystal Lodge and Suites and be able to speed recovery courtesy of Scandinave Spa Whistler. The race takes place at the site of the 2010 Winter Olympics with some of the year’s best weather and racing conditions at the beginning of June.
That, in addition to a bunch of free swag. Scroll down for contest details and full highlights of the VIP race weekend package. For those looking for a great spring destination race, note that Whistler Village is rather-convenient two-hour drive from Vancouver International Airport.
UPDATE (April 15): The contest is now closed. Congratulations to Laura Kennedy who scored herself a sweet weekend in Whistler!
