The race consists of a guided 10 km, 5 km, or 2 km, run or walk around the beautiful trails of Stanley Park.

Post-race activities include a pancake breakfast and music. BC Guide Dogs will also be there with puppies, and you can even do a mini blindfold walk with a Guide Dog.

Most importantly, 100% of the proceeds from the event go towards BC and Alberta Guide Dogs.
