Route Highlights
This beautiful 21.1KM & 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.
If you have participated in the Rubber Ducky Half Marathon you know the route BUT for this race we will run around the lake in the opposite direction! Which direction will you get your personal best time?

On May 31, 2026, Mikey’s Run returns to Burnaby Lake for its second annual event, building on the incredible success of its inaugural year.
With the support of participants, volunteers, and donors, the first Mikey’s Run brought people together on the trails around Burnaby Lake and raised over $100,000 in support of mental health awareness and resources.
Mikey’s Run exists to create space for connection, conversation, and support around mental health — an issue that affects individuals, families, and communities everywhere. The event honours the memory of Mike, an avid runner who trained regularly on these trails and who quietly struggled with mental health challenges.
In 2026, participants will once again come together to Break the Silence, One Step at a Time. The event will again include a 10 km run, a 5 km run/walk, and a kids’ run, welcoming people of all ages and abilities. Whether you’re running, walking, or simply showing up, Mikey’s Run is an opportunity to move together, remember together, and continue making a meaningful difference.
