YVRun

Mountain views, fresh ocean air, stunning cityscapes and a supportive run community – this is why we run.

Join lululemon and Vancouver Running Co. for YVRun, an event that embraces our beautiful city and the run crews, clubs, and individuals that make up our unique and inspiring run community.

In teams of 2–5, you will race in an effort to complete a 15km course. The catch? There is no set route, only a start line, finish line and checkpoints along the way. No bikes, cars, ferries, planes, or horses, just your two feet and your teams knowledge of the urban landscape.

As an added bonus, we've synced this event up with lululemon's Strava run challenge: Your Goals are Showing. The kilometers you run during YVRun will count toward your Strava challenge, getting you one stride closer to earning your challenge badge. Learn more about the challenge here.
