Please register early, as all races are anticipated to hit sellout capacity. Register now for our next upcoming races, the Granville Island Turkey Trot 1KM Kids Run, plus the Great Trek 10KM and 5KM races in October, and for the BMO Vancouver Marathon annually in May.
The 2025 First Half, BMO Vancouver Marathon, and Great Trek Half Marathon reached capacity numbers faster than ever, and the Granville Island Turkey Trot 10Km plus Great Trek 21.1KM are already at capacity limits. No waitlist, no exceptions. Thank you!
Reminder, you’re also invited to Volunteer and Cheer.
Bib transfers are not allowed for safety, legal and liability reasons. If one attempts to race without a registered race bib, that time will show as DNF, and organizers may ban that runner and the initial registrant from future races. You may instead apply for a Deferral Discount.
Runners are encouraged to register early for all RUNVAN events. RUNVAN continues to draw top caliber talent and appeal to the running community. For the latest news, please also follow on social and Email Subscribe.
