Run & Ride

Each run starts with a short warm-up, running specific drills to improve your running technique and mechanics, followed by a run and ending with a gentle cool down and stretch. If you are looking for a fun group of like minded people to run with, look no further than RunQuest.
Community is integral to our business and we couldn’t think of any better way to celebrate the rad people who cheer us on than by having a time for a community run! This is meant to be a time for people to meet, run, and perhaps enjoy a coffee after. Please note, this is not a “formal” run, more of a time and space for runners to meet and run from!
Join us on the open roads as we cycle up, down and all around Kelowna! RideQuest combines our passion for road cycling with our love for adventure. This is a no drop ride led by cycling coaches. Enjoy some fun and challenging routes while making new friends.
