parkrun is such a simple concept: turn up every Saturday and volunteer, walk, jog or run 5k.
Steveston Run Crew started as a small track workout group in Richmond BC before being deliberately rebuilt in 2018 with one mission: remove every barrier to group running. Founded on the belief that inclusivity is not a slogan but a practice, the crew runs on no-drop principles, out-and-back routes to prevent anyone getting lost, and veterans paired with newcomers. Around 50 runners of all levels gather every Wednesday evening at Steveston Hub, where the pace is yours and someone will always run back to bring you home. The vibe is warm, welcoming, and rooted in the conviction that running together means running for everyone.
Speed dates | the run club was founded in Vancouver's Mount Pleasant neighborhood in March 2025 by Kousha and Zuki, two runners who discovered that genuine connections happen mid-run, not mid-swipe. Built for single runners of all paces, the crew believes movement breaks down barriers faster than any dating app. Every Wednesday evening, members run a casual 5K loop through Mount Pleasant, then gather at a local coffee shop where post-run conversations turn into real connections. The vibe is intentionally low-pressure and conversational, welcoming anyone seeking community and maybe something more along the way.
