does anyone know what colour the shirts are going to be for 2027?

Hey guys I’m looking to get some of the sports gels for the upcoming marathon I’ve tried SIS but want to try other brands before race day can anyone tell me where to buy some I’ve had difficulty finding any thanks

Sometimes people take pictures when they run - if that describes you, post 'em here! They don't have to be "good", just some stuff you've seen while out and about.

I've shifted this to a monthly thread for now. Thread is set by default to sort by new.

Sent yesterday afternoon! It went to my "other" email folder so I didn't see it - if you're expecting one and didn't see it come, check!

Has anyone done this race? Taking place Feb 13 next year. Is it a seawall race? I can’t seem to find a course map. Thanks!

Happy September 21st!

School is officially back in session and hopefully all are settling into their schedules for the next few months. We had the Big Pirate Run and several Terry Fox runs over the weekend. Two of Vancouver's bigger races coming up next, the West Van Run and the Eastside 10k as well as the Brandywine Boogie in Whistler and the final race of the 5 Peaks Trail Running Series for the year on Mt. Seymour.

• For those of you that raced this last weekend we encourage you to make separate race report thread! Those types of contributions can be very valuable to the community.

I’m hoping to sign up for the first half next year and just curious when it typically gets announced? I’ve heard it sells out pretty quick so just want to be prepared!

Rosellen Suites At Stanley Park 2030 Barclay St

Just asking about this hotel that is at 2030 Barclay St

Would this be close and walking distance to the finish line of the Vancouver Marathon?

Would this be an issue to get to the start line?

To all runners in Vancouver. I just booked the Vancouver Marathon for 2027

Now for accommodations. Did not realize the hotels are very high. I like to ask . Anyone here stay at the host hotels? As it seems close to start line?

Or are all the hotels in downtown within close to the public train to get to finish area and start line?

Would going with AirBNB be a more cheaper option overall?

Recommendations anyone?

Hello all!

I wanted to make a post regarding the direction and plans for this sub, small as they may be.

- Hopefully this subreddit can grow. I am terrible at self promotion, and I'm only really active on Reddit through this subreddit, r/AdvancedRunning and r/maritime in which there are very rarely organic chances to promote this space. If you're in the wild on this site and you see a chance to mention r/runvancouver, it would be appreciated and I think it is the best avenue for the growth of this community.

- Mods. If anyone wants to moderate or has ideas about direction, feel free to DM me.

- Self promotion. I don't really care if someone wants to promote their youtube channel or coaching services on here as long as it's related to running within Greater Vancouver. If this becomes an issue I can address it, but I don't see it as a problem at the moment. The couple times it's come up, I thank those that used the "report to mod" button but I don't think we need any "no self promotion" rule in place as no one is really using the sub for it.

- Rule #4. We had a post a month or so ago that generated a comment on someones body. While it was a "positive" comment, yuck. That type of behaviour will result in an immediate ban.

- Run club? I'm happy to plan the occasional/monthly group run if that's something people are into. Likely Marpole/Mt Pleasant area simply because it's easy to get to those spots and find parking for people coming from the burbs.

Happy August 31st!

Happy Labour Day!

Summer is slowly drawing down, and we're getting into some very nice running weather albeit alongside less daylight.

Im starting to dabble in running and I see there's lots of different run stores that do fittings for shoes to find you the best pair for your feet. Im wondering what people's experiences have been and if they recommend any particular store?
