About the race
The Big Easter Run is the 11th annual holiday themed fun run held at Jericho Beach Park in Vancouver. The event is listed as sold out for the advertised date.
The course starts near the waterfront and follows trails and beach-side paths through areas with spring blooms, offering views of the North Shore and the Vancouver skyline.

Runners and walkers must complete their route within set time limits: 2 hours for longer routes and 40 minutes for the 1-3 km loop option. Leashed dogs and strollers are allowed; both should start in the final wave and strollers should have wheels suitable for unpaved trails.
