Live Love Run 21k, 10k & 5k

Welcome to The 13th Annual Live Love Run 21k, 10k, 5k & 1k
This event was created in support of two friends and community members who were fighting Breast Cancer. We lost both of the women who inspired this event in 2017, and as we move forward we remember their who they are and the strength they had. We have changed the name of our event to focus on living, loving and finding a cure! We are running to raise money for Abreast In A Boat, to help and support those around us who face this disease everyday. Proceeds from your event registration will be donated to The Abreast In A Boat Dragon Boat Team.

“We are a group of women from Vancouver, Canada and the surrounding metropolitan area, who have had a breast cancer diagnosis.

We are a living symbol of hope and a vivid demonstration that there is life after diagnosis.

Through the strenuous demands of dragon boat paddling we have learned that we can push the limits of our physical endurance and have fun doing it.”

Abreast In A Boat relies on the kindness and generosity of individual donors and corporate sponsors to help us to continue paddling.
Abreast In A Boat Society uses its donations to fund the dragon boat crews, and to provide proactive education, awareness, and expertise in the fight against breast cancer. Our members also participate in breast cancer research projects every year.

How the event Works
Local: 

If you live locally, (in the lower mainland of Greater Vancouver BC or want to travel!), then you can join us at our local event in Fort Langley on October 4, 2025.

Our start and finish line will be at the Brae Island Regional Park. Our race routes will follow the Fort-to-Fort Trail. 
We have four event distances options: 21k, 10k, 5k & 1k. All participants receive a finisher’s medal! Running with strollers filled with kids/babes are welcomed!

Local Event Info: This event is very special for us, as we started it seven years ago to support two very important and amazing women, Amy and Veronica. We continue hosting this event to honour their memories, raise money for breast cancer research and awareness, and to support those we love who are also fighting their own battles against cancer.

This running event takes place on urban trails, which start and finishes at Brae Island Regional Park in Langley, BC. October 4, 2025. The trails are non technical, very runnable, with some rolling hills and stunning greenery. We are running on the Fort-to-Fort trail along the Fraser River. 
The event fee includes your bib number, a finisher’s medal, a $5.00 donation to Abreast In A Boat, finish line food, aid stations and lots of fun!
Online Registration for Local Participants closes October 1, 2025 or when we have reached the max number of 250 participants.
Virtual:

If you do not live locally or cannot make it to the local event, then you can register for the Virtual Event and run your chosen distance wherever you live!

Your event package will arrive before October 4th. This gives you the option to help us raise money and awareness, run where you live, (maybe create a group run with friends?!), and we can all run together around the world on the same day!

Registration fees includes your bib number, a finisher’s medal, a $5.00 donation to Abreast In A Boat, shipping and some sponsor goodies.
Important: Online Registration for our Virtual Runners closes August 20th so that we have time to mail your package to you before event day.
