RUNVAN® continues to work closely with the City of Vancouver, Vancouver Parks Board and the Public Health Officer to hopefully put on in person events in the Fall of 2021. Please stay tuned for more updates.

The Granville Island Turkey Trot Virtual Race will return this October, and we hope restrictions are lifted so we may also host an in person event over Thanksgiving Weekend, as traditionally scheduled. Great Trek Virtual Races will also return this Fall, and we hope restrictions are lifted so we may also host an in person event at UBC in October, as traditionally scheduled.

Please stay tuned for new registration opportunities. You may also follow us on social @runvancanada #runvan. Event capacity will be limited.
