The annual Chilly Chase is partnered with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada’s Team in Training – it is held in Olympic Village, behind Creek side Community Recreation Centre, alongside Vancouver’s stunning seawall.
Offering a variety of distances – a 5 km walk/run, 10km walk/run, 15 km run, and half marathon – this race is for everyone. Since it is fairly flat, it is the perfect race to hit a personal-best or muster up the courage to try out a half marathon. The amazing thing about this race is that it offers a 15 km event which gives runners the opportunity to graduate from the 10 km distance without doing the full 21.5 km required for a half.
With IF members participating in the half marathon, 10 km and 5 km events, IF Vancouver coaches were ecstatic to get in on the fun and support their fellow trainees. The rain held off just as the half marathons hit the half-way point and just as the 10 k’ers polished off their race but the day was still perfect! Afterwards, the crew met up at Tap & Barrel for some brunch before heading off to enjoy a wonderful Sunday.
