St. Patrick's Day 5k 2026

The Summerfast 10km course is a scenic, flat, fast run along the Stanley Park Seawall

The start is located on the seawall path near the Second Beach concession, west of Stanley Park Drive. The race course crosses Stanley Park Drive, swings around the south side of Lost Lagoon and passes beneath West Georgia Street before doing a short loop in Coal Harbour. Runners then head out onto the Seawall towards Lions Gate Bridge, following the Seawall in a counter clockwise direction. The finish line is back at Ceperley Field, close to the start.

Pride Run & Walk features Canada's most beautiful 10k running course, a BC Athletics-certified qualifying race distance. This speedy and almost entirely flat route loops around the Stanley Park seawall, while the 5k course for runners and walkers generally follows the 10k route towards Coal Harbour and HMCS Discovery before returning to the 5/10k finish line in Ceperly field near Second Beach in Stanley Park.

Pride Run & Walk is your community event, created by community volunteers for our community. Show the volunteers some love with cheers!

Pre-race package pickup is Friday, July 24, and Saturday, July 25th, at Forerunners on Main (at 23rd Avenue). See Frequently Asked Questions for all the details.

On race day, our program starts at 8:00 a.m., the official welcome ceremony at 8:15 a.m., and the first runners will set off from the starting line at 8:35 a.m. sharp. We've got fun surprises in store for you before, during and after the race!

Pride Run & Walk is hosted by Vancouver Frontrunners, celebrating its 43nd year of providing a safe and friendly environment for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, their friends, and allies to enjoy running and walking.
