Our Mission

In celebration of the 81st Anniversary of Korean Liberation Day, participating teams will work together to complete 81.5 km.

More important than individual results is the opportunity to run together, support one another, and reflect on the meaning of liberation and freedom.

As we remember the sacrifices and courage of those who secured Korea's independence 81 years ago, we come together to run, encourage, and achieve this goal as one team.

19th annual Rubber Ducky

5K, 7 Mile, Half Marathon

Rubber Ducky Day themed race so feel free to dress up!

This beautiful 21.1K & 7 Mile course circles Burnaby lake, giving you the opportunity to enjoy fresh air, exercise and more chances to view birds and animals in this wilderness environment. Join other walkers & runners on this scenic course throughout the trails of Burnaby Lake. Located in the middle of the city, Burnaby Lake Regional Park is a stunning wildlife sanctuary. The lake was created by a glacier 12,000 years ago and its shores were home to sawmills in the late 1800's. The race will provide you with an opportunity to be active while enjoying the scenic trails of Burnaby Lake.

We race Burnaby Lake twice a year with annual races, Shamrock’n Race in March and the Rubber Ducky in October. The Shamrock’n Race 7 Mile and Half Marathon circle the lake clockwise and the Rubber Ducky 7 Mile and Half Marathon circle the lake counter clockwise.
