The North Face Whistler Half Marathon has chosen the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of Canada as it's primary charity to help support research to find the cure (s) to Inflammatory Bowel Disease.  1 in 160 people in Canada suffers from IBD and our aim is to raise money and awareness for the cause.  By choosing to fundraise for our charity of choice you are making a difference in the lives of those living with IBD worldwide.  The CCFC is a world leader in funding cutting edge research for the cures.

The North Face Whsitler Half Marathon held it's innaugural event in 2011 and has sold out each year.  In 2013 we are anticipating up to 1700 athletes in all of our distances - if just 50 people can raise $100 each, at least $5,000 will be raised to find the cures!  Thank you for helping us make a difference.
