Riverbender
Riverbender is a community running event held at Burnaby Fraser Foreshore Park on Fraser Park Drive in Burnaby, BC, Canada. The event offers two measured road and trail distances that trace the bend of the Fraser River through Foreshore Park.
Both courses use uninterrupted bike paths and wide gravel trails and are described by the organizer as flat and fast. The route runs alongside the river and passes areas where winter wildlife can be seen, including observed eagle nests.
Included with registration are a unique finishers medal, a beer voucher redeemable at Steel & Oak Brewing Co., professional timing with bib and chip, and a well marked, accurately measured course.
The event supports KidSport Burnaby. That organization provides grants to help cover registration fees so children aged 18 and under in Burnaby can participate in a season of sport.
Registration policies note that refunds and deferrals are not available unless optional third party refund insurance was purchased during registration. Transfers are possible through the Race Roster platform. In the event the event is cancelled for reasons such as weather or other circumstances, the organizer will provide a discount toward next year’s event.
