Join us for a run along the Riverbend!
Run the scenic Foreshore Park in Big Bend, Burnaby for a flat, fast and beautiful event.

Both 5KM & 10KM distances follow the bend of the fraser river in Burnaby's beautiful Foreshore Park. The races both boast fast and flat uninterrupted bike paths and wide gravel trails, making it the perfest race for your first attempts at these distances or to try and run the fastest you've ran before!
Keep an eye out for views of the river and all the wildlife of the winter season (psssst, there's eagles nests on the route!)
Check out both routes below!


What is included with your registration?
- Unique finishers medal
- Beer voucher (redeemable at Steel & Oak Brewing Co.)
- Professional timing with bib & chip
- Well marked and accurately measured course
Riverbender supports KidSport Burnaby. They do a fantastic job at helping children participate in sports in our local community by providing grants to help cover the costs of registration fees for all kids aged 18 and under in Burnaby to be able to play a season of sport.
We recognise and respect that the City of Burnaby is located on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), and kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem) Peoples. We acknowledge that colonialism has made invisible their histories and connections to the land.
