Event overview
The Big Halloween Run is the 2nd annual themed fun run in partnership with Striderz Run Club, held in Vancouver's Olympic Village on October 30, 2025. The event offers a short dash and a longer run/walk along the Seawall, with the course starting just east of Creekside Community Centre, running toward Science World, continuing to David Lam Park and returning to the start. The route is paved, with minimal inclines and stable pathways. Pets on leash and strollers are allowed but must start in the last wave.
