RUNVAN®
Please register early, as all races are anticipated to hit sellout capacity. Register now for our last great race of the year, the Great Trek 5KM race in October, and for the BMO Vancouver Marathon in May.
The 2025 Granville Island Turkey Trot plus Great Trek 21.1KM and 10KM are already at capacity limits. 2026 First Half hit limits in a matter of minutes. 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.
