The Vancouver Sun Run is run through the streets of Vancouver, British Columbia, on a paved city course that crosses downtown and follows the waterfront. It has the feel of a mass participation spring race, with staggered start waves and spectators along most of the route.
Now in its 43rd edition, it is the largest 10K in Canada. 5 km Mini Sun Run completes the programme for kids and beginners.
2 formats on the program.
| Format | Distance |
|---|---|
| 10 km | 6 mi |
| Mini Sun Run 2,5 km | 1.6 mi |

A build for this distance usually runs 8 to 12 weeks. Counted back from race day, that puts the start somewhere between January 18, 2027 and February 15, 2027.
These ranges are working conventions, not a research finding — no trial has compared plan lengths against each other. What matters more is that the plan was built for the weeks you actually have, rather than shrunk down from a longer one.
