Congratulations!

We are pleased to be celebrating our 35th year of the Vancouver Sun Run. Since 1985 more than one million registrants have signed up for this iconic race. Participants of all ages and skill levels have enjoyed running this race over the years and we look forward to many more to come.

No matter what your running ability, it is always inspiring to see the joy on faces when they beat a personal best or simply cross the finish line with a smile. It’s a wonderful feeling and it’s what the Vancouver Sun Run has been about year after year – helping each participant achieve their personal goals.

The Vancouver Sun Run is about health, fitness and community spirit, as well as a great way to showcase our beautiful city. Together we make up Canada’s largest 10K and one of the largest 10K’s in North America. It’s an incredible achievement that we can all be proud of.

On behalf of the organizers, the steering committee and all of us here at the Vancouver Sun, we would like to thank all of you – the participants, the volunteers, the sponsors and cheering squads along the route -- for your overwhelming support over the past 35 years. Thank you for helping us get to the finish line.

On Sunday, April 14, 2019, from start to finish, let’s make this year’s run one for the ages.
