Race Information

The Vancouver Sun Run holds the distinction of being Canada’s largest annual 10k road race, and the second largest timed 10k in the world (we're not kidding, the race typically hosts around 50,000 runners)! The annual Sun Run happens in Vancouver every April and offers runners a unique opportunity to experience running through scenic Vancouver.

Because of its size, the Sun Run has a wave start system. Runners are positioned in various pre-race sections based on their estimated finishing time. This race also features a walkers division for participants who want to do the 10k distance without a focus on time.

Run Pick of the Month - WWF Climb for Nature

 Unique event happening inside BC Place on May 26, 2024.

The WWF Climb for Nature is your chance to get into the fight against wildlife loss and climate change by fundraising and climbing up and down the stairs of each section in the lower bowl of the iconic BC Place stadium.

This is the first time an event like this has ever happened inside BC Place. You can choose a single bowl climb (approx. 3,000 steps) or double bowl climb (approx. 6,000 steps).

All funds raised at the event will go towards protecting and restoring the crucial habitats of southern resident killer whales, salmon, Vancouver Island marmots and other at-risk wildlife in BC and throughout Canada.

The next 1000 registrations will be FREE thanks to a generous donation by an anonymous sponsor. Register now using the promo code FREE1000.
