Join the 2026 Around the Wall Race on June 13th
Our Story
The Around the Wall Race began as a dream to create an extraordinary running experience that celebrates the natural beauty of Stanley Park's iconic Seawall. What started as a small community gathering has grown into Vancouver's premier 10K race, attracting runners from across Canada and beyond.
Our mission is simple: to bring people together through the joy of running while supporting our community and preserving the natural beauty that makes Vancouver special. Every year, thousands of runners circle the Seawall, creating memories and pushing their limits in one of the most scenic running courses in the world.
The race embodies the spirit of Vancouver – inclusive, environmentally conscious, and community-focused. Whether you're chasing a personal best or simply enjoying the experience, the Around the Wall Race welcomes all runners with open arms.
