Event overview

The Great Grocery Run takes place on December 6, 2025 at Steel & Oak Brewing Co., 3rd Avenue, New Westminster, BC, Canada. The event consists of a single 3 km run along the New Westminster Quay. Entry requires payment and at least one non-perishable food item; the event lists a registration price of $12.86.

Format and scoring

Participants carry the food items they bring during the run. Only undamaged items count toward scoring. Each runner’s finish time is divided by the number of items they donate to produce an adjusted time. For example, a 20-minute finish divided by 20 items results in a 1-minute adjusted time.

Charity and additional activities

All food donations go to Don’t Go Hungry to support local families in need. Steel & Oak will host a holiday market on the same day with craft vendors, food specials, and activities after the run. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
