Race day registration

Come on the 7:00am ferry, if at all possible, if you want to register the day of the event. If you miss the 7:00am, you still have a chance to beat the deadline by catching the 8:00am, but know this; registrations after 8:45 will not get an official time in our timing system. We will also have registrars on the ferry to avoid congestion at the registration table on Bowen Island, but please do everything possible to register in advance.

Fill in the name of your favorite registered club or non-profit and encourage others to do the same for a chance at the $500 cash draw prize. It does not matter which event you register for to also make your club or non-profit eligible for this draw prize. 4 participants are needed for the first chance at the prize and another chance for every 3 additional people, like so; 4 runners-1 chance; 7 runners-2 chances; 10 runner- 3 chances etc. The prize money will be issued by check in the name of the lucky winning club or non-profit.

Age information / age categories

In the interest of the health and safety of young runners, we and BC Athletics, recommend that, unless they are in a special training program, 5K runners should be 8 years of age as a minimum, and 10K runners should be a minimum of 13 years of age (exceptions may be made for youth in special training programs, please contact us for details). We offer a 1.5K event for young children.

Based on these recommendations, we organize our age categories as follows:

7 years and under, 8 to 12, 13 to 18, 19 to 29, 30 to 39, 40 to 49, 50 to 59, 60 to 69 and 70 and above.

The only reason our registration system asks for your date of birth is to place you in the proper age category, as we offer certificates for the top three times for males and females in each of these groups.

Technical T-Shirts

(not just a cotton T) Leslie Jordan Tech shirts have a chemical free moisture management that is woven into the fibers and will not diminish over time. Our fabric is a resilient medium-weight performance fabric that will retain its shape wash after wash. The moisture wicking effects will last the lifetime of the garment.

Make your choice(s) from the two charts below and order by July 31st to guarantee your size. The shirts sell for $20 each, with proceeds going to the event’s costs and development.
