Road Running Socials Vancouver

K'emk'emeláy̓ (Vancouver)

In partnership with
indigenous women outdoors partner salomon

Beginner-friendly road running socials that use an Indigenous-led approach to reshape our relationship with running and to decolonize running culture.

Join us on July’s road running social run! This social is geared for everyone – whether you are new to running, an avid runner, or curious about starting. 

We’ll be meeting outside of Science World and spending time together along the seawall. This social will include a mix of running, walking, talking, and stopping to take it all in.

In partnership with our friends at Salomon, participants will be gifted with running swag and invited to join us for aprés.

We look forward to spending time on the land together, making new connections and seeing familiar faces.

About Social Runs:

The social runs will be focused on slowing down, honouring our bodies, and accepting the many gifts that are present when we look beyond the (external) physical benefits of this activity. Running can be more than an activity; it can become a lifestyle. All social runs will include group discussions on a variety of topics such as:

  • decolonizing running culture and reshaping the narrative
  • sharing our languages, cultures, traditions, and journeys
  • running as a lifestyle; caring for your body now and for the future
  • safety; what to wear/bring, planning ahead, fueling your body, and being wildlife aware
