Returning on October 13, 2025, the Granville Island Turkey Trot brings runners together in a vibrant Thanksgiving tradition. Organized by RUNVAN®, it includes a chip‑timed, fast 10 km course that loops over the Burrard Bridge and Seawall, with surfer‑like views of False Creek and the downtown skyline. A 1 km Kids Run and a “green bib” non-shirt option make the event inclusive for families and runners of all abilities, while team entries, costume contests, and Run & Give fundraising (benefiting Greater Vancouver area food banks) foster community spirit. Early-bird registrations include shirt-inclusive and shirt‑optional options, race medals, bibs with timing chips, and perks like free parking on Granville Island until 1 PM, gear check, pacers, and retail discounts. With limited slots and no waitlist, this race is one of Vancouver’s most anticipated fall events.
