Run the Night 2026

Run the Night is a 5K night race starting at Second Beach in Stanley Park, Vancouver. It begins at 7:00 PM PST on a Friday evening, offering a short, measured run under the dark sky with ocean air and distant city lights. The course is certified, chip-timed, and described as fast and flat, suitable for first-timers and those aiming for a quick 5K. The race concludes the series, serving as a final opportunity to push before the season ends. Participants receive a finisher medal, post-race snacks, warm drinks, event photos, sponsor perks, and leaderboard recognition, with prizes for the top three men and women. The event benefits Childhood Cancer Canada and attracts Vancouver runners of all levels, from casual participants to those seeking one more challenging effort before the year concludes.
