Runners hits the streets of Vancouver once again in Canada's largest road race

More than 23,000 people participated in Sunday's Sun Run in Vancouver, the first in-person version of the 10-kilometre road race since 2019.

"It's good to see all these people turn out, I was running during the pandemic, but it was an alone thing," said runner Brian Wu from the finish line. "It's nice to see everyone."

The race, which also features a 2.5-kilometre mini run, began in 1985 with 3,200 runners. It has grown to become largest running race, by participation, in Canada.

In 2019, 43,000 people participated, while registration peaked at 59,000 in 2008.

Ready, Set, Go!
