Cheer Challenge
The Cheer Loud Reward Program recognizes and reward communities that support the event in a few ways by providing prizes to the largest team and most impactful spectator groups. Cheer on your friends and family! Bring your best cheer signs; paint your faces; shake your hips; and get your best costume out of the closet! You don’t have to be a runner to enjoy in the race day excitement.
Block Parties – BMO Vancouver Marathon
On Race Day, RUNVAN also hosts several block parties at various hot spots on course. Enjoy live music, family-friendly activities, and snacks, and cheer on runners as they conquer Vancouver’s only Marathon!
