21st Annual SCPC Chilly Chase

The event is the 21st annual SCPC Chilly Chase and offers three distances:

  • 5K
  • 10K
  • Half Marathon

The routes are out-and-back on Vancouver’s Seawall, described as a quick, flat course with winter views. The start and finish are on the Seawall behind Creekside Community Recreation Centre at #1 Athletes Way, Vancouver. The event is tag timed; a display clock is used and no-tag entries will have no official results. Organizers aim to have results posted within 24 hours.

Course, logistics and entry

Entry includes a souvenir finishing medal (while supplies last), a souvenir swag item, individual timing, after-event snacks, a race bib, participant insurance, and random prizes. Water and hydration stations are available within 5 km. Placing medals are awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd overall; recipients must be present at awards to claim them. A bag check is available by donation at the charity table near the start/finish.
