West Van Run offers a flat 5K and 10K run/walk in West Vancouver, British Columbia, with a 1K Kids Run accompanying the main events. It takes place twice annually, once in March and again in September or October. The event is designed for a broad range of participants, including walkers, first-time runners, club members, families, and experienced athletes, rather than catering to a single runner profile. The 5K route begins near the West Vancouver Community Centre on Bellevue Avenue. It proceeds along Bellevue Avenue, Marine Drive, through Park Royal, Ambleside Park, and Argyle Avenue, before concluding on the West Van Seawall. The autumn event spans two days, featuring a Kids Run on each day. The race also benefits Special Olympics BC - North Shore, providing a local charity connection beyond the immediate race area.

The Whistler Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving trail race held at Lost Lake Park in Whistler, British Columbia, offering 5 km and 10 km distances. The start and event hub are located at Lost Lake PassivHaus on Fitzsimmons Road South, making it a resort-town run distinct from a road race through downtown streets. SEA2SKY Events organizes this family-friendly race. The shorter distance provides an accessible option for casual runners and walkers. Now in its eighth year, the event has a local holiday-race atmosphere rather than the feel of a large-city mass participation event.

El Kicking PancreAS 5K - Vancouver es una carrera/caminata de 5K que se hace por la tarde en la Second Beach Swimming Pool, en Stanley Park Drive, en Vancouver. Está pensado para andarines y corredores de todos los niveles, con check-in antes de la salida y un ambiente muy relajado; no es una competición solo para los más rápidos. Con este evento se recaudan fondos para la concienciación sobre el cáncer de páncreas, el apoyo a pacientes, la educación sanitaria y la investigación, todo en Canadá. El recorrido empieza y termina en Stanley Park, así que todo el día gira en torno a un punto de encuentro muy conocido en la zona de la costa de Vancouver. Se anima a los participantes a llevar algo morado, añadir cosas que brillen en la oscuridad y disfrazarse, dándole al 5K un carácter más de evento solidario comunitario que de carrera de asfalto al uso. Se dan medallas de finisher, dorsales y merchandising del evento. Los kits de carrera se pueden recoger antes en la Robson Street Running Room o en Stanley Park justo antes de la salida; no hay inscripciones el mismo día en el sitio. Una edición reciente del evento atrajo a 400 participantes y recaudó más de $96,000, quedándose todo el dinero en Canadá.

The Vancouver First Responders Half Marathon - Trail Edition is an autumn trail race in Vancouver, British Columbia, serving as the off-road version of the First Responders running series.

The race includes a team option for the 21K and 10K distances, where four runners compete as a unit, with the team's overall time determined by the average of their individual finish times. The event's history dates back to the mid-2010s. Package pickup occurs the day before the race at The Right Shoe. Race morning features a mandatory briefing prior to the staggered start of the three distances, beginning with the longest and concluding with the shortest.

Run the Night es una carrera nocturna de 5K que sale de Second Beach, en Stanley Park, Vancouver. Arranca un viernes por la tarde a las 7:00 PM PST, y te ofrece un recorrido corto y medido bajo el cielo oscuro, con el aire del océano y las luces lejanas de la ciudad. El circuito está homologado, con cronometraje por chip, y es rápido y llano, ideal para quienes se estrenan en esto o para los que van a por un 5K rápido. La carrera cierra la serie, siendo la última oportunidad para darlo todo antes de que acabe la temporada. Los participantes se llevan una medalla de finisher, snacks post-carrera, bebidas calientes, fotos del evento, ventajas de patrocinadores y reconocimiento en la clasificación, con premios para los tres primeros hombres y mujeres. El evento recauda fondos para Childhood Cancer Canada y atrae a corredores de Vancouver de todos los niveles, desde los que van a pasarlo bien hasta los que buscan un último esfuerzo exigente antes de que acabe el año.

The SCPC Vancouver Historic 5K, 10K & Half Marathon takes place on Stanley Park’s paved Seawall, a well-known Vancouver route encircling the park's perimeter. Participants can select a 5K, 10K, or half marathon, accommodating walkers, casual runners, and those seeking a longer timed competition. The event utilizes shoe-tag timing, a finish-line clock, and in-person results, with tags gathered post-finish. The course traces the Seawall along Stanley Park’s northern, western, and southern shores, offering clear vistas of downtown Vancouver, the North Shore mountains, and the Lions Gate Bridge. Stanley Park, Vancouver’s original park, spans 400 hectares, placing the race alongside forests of cedar, hemlock, and fir, as well as the coastline. The event maintains a practical local-race atmosphere, featuring a group warm-up led by The Morgan Method, no race-day registration, and a Yellow Bib option for participants entering after standard merchandise and medals are gone.

It includes a 1k Wee Elf Run for children, and 5k, 10k, and 15k distances, accommodating families, walkers, beginners, and experienced runners. Participants receive a personalized bib with a custom Elf Name, an Elf Toque costume piece, and a wooden ornament medal crafted in British Columbia. The route follows Stanley Park trails, primarily paved paths and seawall segments, with minimal hills and loops for the longer races. Runners depart from Lumberman's Arch, accessing the seawall near Coal Harbour and Burrard Inlet. The event welcomes strollers and pets, provides a water station, and features a DJ, entertainment, vendors, prize draws, and a photo station before the race. It also benefits a charity, aligning with the holiday spirit.
