Locations
We are excited to offer three locations again this year, so you can take part wherever you live in BC.
The start line is located at Midlothian Street and Clancy Loranger Way with a post-race festival taking place right after the run in Riley Park.
All T-shirts by teams and/or individuals must be picked up on June 6 or 7th as we are not offering T-shirt pick up on race day, Sunday, June 8th. The new T-shirt pick-up will be located at the Baseball Diamond in Riley Park.
The teams' area will be located in the gravel parking lot behind Nat Bailey Stadium.

Sustainability
How are we ensuring race weekend sustainability is a priority?
2024 Environmental Footprint Certificate
Join us in working to protect and conserve our communities as we enjoy race festivities.
RBC Race for the Kids is committed to being environmentally responsible and is dedicated to reducing the carbon footprint across our festival sites. Sustainability is important to our team and we will continue to innovate on sustainability measures in order to keep our communities as pristine as possible.
Here are a few ways we’re tackling sustainability:
Reusable T-shirts
Keeping the same design as 2024 allows participants to reuse their t-shirts for our 2025 RBC Race for the Kids. Our T-shirts are made of sustainably and fairly grown USA cotton. Gildan's manufacturing process utilizes 45% renewable energy. Gildan’s Community Investment Program supports education, the environment, humanitarian aid and active living in the communities we do business in.
Race Medals
Our 2025 race medals are made from wheat straw plastic with a bamboo fiber/cotton lanyard.
Wheat straw plastic is a biodegradable environmentally friendly alternative to plastic, BPA free, and has FDA approval.
Bamboo is overall more sustainable for the earth and better for your health as well. Due to its hypoallergenic qualities and less need for pesticides and fertilizers.
Transportation
Our Vancouver event is easily accessible by bus or Canada Line. We offer a free bike and gear valet onsite at our events – don’t drive, bike and be green!
