Queen's Park Classic
The Queen's Park Classic is a community running event held in New Westminster, British Columbia. Scheduled for Saturday, April 4, 2026, the race takes place within Queen's Park and is part of the Beer Run Race Series. The event features a hilly course that combines road and trail sections. For the 2026 edition, the race introduces a new start and finish location at the baseball field on the south side of the park.
The following distances are available:
- 5 km
- Kids Race
The 5 km route has been updated to follow a single loop through the park, including a climb and descent of the 6th Street hill. Participants receive professional chip timing, a marked course, and a unique finishers medal. Amenities include a post-race beer, a swag bag, and access to a beer garden with draw prizes. Podium prizes and cash awards are designated for top finishers.
The Kids Race is a free, non-competitive event for children aged 11 and under. The course remains within the start and finish field to allow for spectator support. The event functions as a fundraiser for KidSport New West, an organization providing grants for youth sport registration fees in the local community.
