2026 Great Trek at the University of British Columbia
The event takes place on October 24, 2026 at the University of British Columbia, Herbarium, Main Mall, Vancouver, BC, Canada. It offers multiple race formats on the same day.
Distances offered:
- 21.1 km Half Marathon
- 10 km
- 5 km
- 36.1 km Hat Trick
Race entry includes a race bib with timing chip, drinks and post-race food, gear check and pacers provided by RUNVAN, and access to race results and leaderboards. Medals are awarded to finishers of the 21.1 km, 10 km and 5 km events, including those who select the green bib option.
A limited quantity option allows a choice of shirt or gloves. Selecting the green bib skips the race giveaway and reduces the registration fee slightly. Package pickup is held race week only at Forerunners Main St over four days: Tuesday 12:00–18:30, then Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 10:00–18:30. There is no race day package pickup.
The event supports BC Children's Hospital Foundation as a fundraising partner. Participants can pursue RUNVAN Grand Slam recognition by running four specified RUNVAN events in the same calendar year. Registrations are non-refundable and non-transferrable according to RUNVAN race policies. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
