All of those runs are planning to return in 2013, with some organizers planning a few changes.
For example, the organizers of the North Face Whistler Half Marathon are adding a new 10km race to the schedule to go with the 21.1km half marathon and the 1km Little Rippers kids run.
The Comfortably Numb Trail Run saw a change in management in 2012 as the organizers of the Run the Shore series handed it over to the organizers of the 5 Peaks Series, which are planning to build the race up starting this year.
On the triathlon front, the Whistler Tri Club will continue to host its youth and beginner triathlons, and a separate off-road triathlon is being discussed to replace the Xterra — an off-road triathlon event that hosted events in Whistler for three years before it became clear that the local terrain is a little too technical for the event.
It will be interesting to see how Ironman will boost the other tri events.
