A great incentive prize program is offered (for more information, please download the .pdf of the entry form). Last year over $89,000 was raised. Daisy Dusangh, a former 8K participant, lost her battle with breast cancer at the age of 28. To celebrate her memory, the Daisy's Hope Memorial Trophy recognizes the team who raises the most money. Help us set a new record to help women like Daisy!
Event organizers and the BC Cancer Foundation thank all sponsors, participants, volunteers, and pledge donors for making this event such a success.
The Course: Race morning starts off at Nat Bailey Stadium, and follows a well marked 8 km route through Queen Elizabeth Park and residential streets. Marshals will be positioned along the course to cheer participants on all the way to the finish line. The course is primarily flat with some uphill grades. There is a parking lot at Nat Bailey Stadium on Clancy Loranger Way off Midlothian Ave. Post-race festivities will also be held at Nat Bailey. The 4K Walk will also start at Nat Bailey, but it will follow its own well-marked route. Download the Women's 8K course map.
