Raising Money to Save a Forest
The theme of Cumby 2024 is
MAY THE FOREST BE WITH YOU!
The Cumby Trail Race has raised over $223,000 to support the important work of the Cumberland Community Forest Society (CCFS) . You are playing a role in protecting the hills, forest, creeks and wetlands adjacent to Cumberland.
What else is special about the Cumby?
Focussing on the next generation of trail racers - our youth
The Cumby team and the Comox Valley Road Runners want to build our population of racers to include youth and new trail racers and walkers. For Cumby 2024 we have a 7.5 km route that will make you want to come back for more next year. Medals in more categories for youth this year!
Our Volunteers Rock!
We have such great community support for our race. Cumby volunteers are fabulous, from the familiarization run leaders, to the equipment set up folks, the mountain biking first aid attendants, our wonderful food preps, aid station folks, sweeps and all the others who make this race so special.
We thank you. Please say thank you as you race by them on race day!

The Trifecta - What is that?
Trail racing on Vancouver Island has never been so good. There are so many races to choose from with 50 mile ultras, series races all up and down the island, the return of the much loved klimb in the north island and other independent races. However, have you heard about the Trifecta? We welcome you to enjoy all three races in the Cumberland Hills. Of course our beloved Cumby is in early May, and then Devils Ladder offers a 50 km, a 30 km and a 15 km in mid July and the Perserverance Trail Race wraps up the threesome at the end of October. All three races fundraise for the Cumberland Community Forest!
