5K versenyek Squamish közelében

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.

A Kicking PancreAS 5K - Vancouver egy esti 5K run/walk, a Second Beach Swimming Poolnál, a Stanley Park Drive-on, Vancouverben. Gyalogosoknak és futóknak is szól, tempótól függetlenül: rajt előtt van check-in, a hangulat laza, nem csak a gyors lábak versenye. Az esemény adományt gyűjt a hasnyálmirigyrák ismertségének növelésére, betegek támogatására, egészségügyi oktatásra és kutatásra Canada területén. Az útvonal Stanley Parkból indul és oda is ér vissza, vagyis a nap egy ismert Vancouver vízparti találkozóhely köré szerveződik. A résztvevőket bíztatják, hogy vegyenek fel lilát, hozzanak glow-in-the-dark cuccokat és akár jelmezt is, ettől inkább közösségi 5K adománygyűjtés az egész, mint egy sima országúti futóverseny. Finisher érmek, rajtszámok és event merchandise járnak. A race kit előre átvehető a Robson Street Running Roomnál vagy Stanley Parkban a verseny előtt; helyszíni nevezés nincs. Egy friss rendezésen 400 résztvevő volt, és több mint $96,000 gyűlt össze, az összes bevétel pedig Canada-ban marad.

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. Participants can select from a 21.1 km half marathon, a 10K, or a 5K. The half marathon course consists of two identical laps. 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 is a 5K night race starting at Second Beach in Stanley Park, Vancouver. It begins at 7:00 PM PST on a Friday evening, offering a short, measured run under the dark sky with ocean air and distant city lights. The course is certified, chip-timed, and described as fast and flat, suitable for first-timers and those aiming for a quick 5K. The race concludes the series, serving as a final opportunity to push before the season ends. Participants receive a finisher medal, post-race snacks, warm drinks, event photos, sponsor perks, and leaderboard recognition, with prizes for the top three men and women. The event benefits Childhood Cancer Canada and attracts Vancouver runners of all levels, from casual participants to those seeking one more challenging effort before the year concludes.

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.

The Big Elf Run is a holiday fun run in Vancouver's Stanley Park, starting at Lumberman's Arch in December. 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.
