The Shambhala Music Festival, happening July 25–28, 2025 at Salmo River Ranch, BC, is kicking off each day with a fresh new tradition: a daily morning run club starting at 9:30 AM. Festival participants are invited to meet at the main road near the pagoda entrance to join a casual 3.81 km (2.36 miles) route that welcomes runners, joggers, and walkers of all paces and experience levels.
This run club isn’t about speed or competition—it’s designed to energize attendees first thing in the morning while fostering community. After completing the route, participants can cool down with a cold plunge and enjoy a coffee social to kickstart conversations and camaraderie.
The r/shambhala community has reacted with mixed enthusiasm toward the 9:30 AM start time. Some find it an early wake-up call during the festival vibe, while many others embrace it as a healthy, invigorating way to begin their festival days—especially those recalling past years’ experiences with similar meetups.
The route is flexible, and the atmosphere is welcoming to anyone seeking to join this daily ritual that blends wellness with the festival’s inherent celebration of connection and music.
An attached festival map clearly marks the pagoda meetup point and highlights key zones such as Sunshine, Starlight, and the Fractal Forest to help runners and walkers navigate the expansive venue.
Overall, the Shambhala 2025 run club adds an energizing layer of community vitality, proving that the festival’s spirit extends beyond music to embrace active, healthy lifestyles and meaningful shared moments.
