Hypothermic Half Marathon 2026 - Vancouver

Who are we?

Bumrun is a charity that raises awareness of colon cancer screening and prevention.

For 15 years, we have organized 5K walk/run events and raised more than $1.8 million net for various colon cancer charity organizations.

Our funds go toward colon cancer research, enhancing patient support programs for families living with colon cancer, and raising awareness of colon cancer screening and prevention.

Canada has one of the highest colon cancer rates in the world, affecting 1 in 16 Canadians. But 90% of deaths could be prevented with screening, so get ahead of your behind and join us this Bumrun!

Grouse Mountain's Seek the Peak is back!

Join us on Saturday, June 13, 2026 for one of the North Shore's most iconic endurance challenges, and be a part of Grouse Mountain's Centennial Year legacy while supporting Metro Vancouver Regional Parks Foundation. This year's race contributes to celebrating 100 years of history, and your participation helps mark a century of adventure, community, and outdoor adventure at Grouse.

The challenging 16 km course starts by the beach at Ambleside Park in West Vancouver, winds its way through North Vancouver, then heads up the legendary Grouse Grind to The Peak of Vancouver. With an impressive 1,400m of elevation, Seek the Peak will test your fitness, stamina and mental grit.

Take on the challenge solo or enter as a team of 2-4, splitting up the course into four legs. Either way, reaching the top is an achievement worth celebrating! After crossing the finish line, join us at our finish line party featuring DJ, BBQ, recovery zone, plus activities and giveaways from our event sponsors.

As well as age category and fundraising awards, we'll also have special prizing for the Best Centennial Tribute, recognizing participants who creatively celebrate Grouse Mountain's 100-year milestone!
