The Phantom Run 2025

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!

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.
