This year marks the 50th anniversary of the BMO Vancouver Marathon! As a part of this special milestone, the YMCA of Greater Vancouver has paired with RunVan and the BMO Vancouver Marathon as a charity of choice. If you are planning to participate in the full marathon, half marathon, 8-kilometer race, 5-kilometer race, relay, or virtual race on Sunday, May 1, 2022, please consider registering as a YMCA charity runner.
Perks of Registering as a YMCA Charity Runner
As a charity runner, you will receive a 20 per cent discount when you help raise $400 for the YMCA’S CommUNITY campaign! And if you have already registered, you may still participate as a YMCA charity runner—just reach out to us at giving@gv.ymca.ca and we will be happy to help.
All YMCA charity runners will also receive a free YMCA swag bag as a thank you.
