YMCA BC is excited to be cheering loud and proud as our Y Charity Runners team members set out on a journey to run for their “why” in the 2024 BMO Vancouver Marathon.
This year's event is officially sold out—thank you to all of the incredible runners who have signed up to run and raise with the Y Charity Runners!
The team has already raised thousands of dollars in support of YMCA BC's life-enhancing programs, but hasn't hit the finish line just yet. Show your support with a donation by clicking below!
If you are already registered and would like to join our team, it's not too late! Please email ycharityrunners@bc.ymca.ca and we'll ensure you are added to our team roster.

Why run? Well, we all have a "why!"
“For me, it’s seeing the kids’ big smiles in our Y Child Care Centres. It fills my heart! It’s also the Newcomers I have met and had the pleasure of getting to know who have found family through the Y. These are just a couple of examples of my WHY!”
— Leanna Dunn
Maxime's "why"
"I have many different things I'm running for—my mental health, my discipline—but when you're running for other people as well, that's extra motivation when you're tired.
"You think, 'I can't give up because of them.' You don't want to let other people down."
Maxime is one of our incredible Y Charity Runners! Read more about his story and his motivations for running, or make a donation to support our team!
