A Night to Glow
Join us for a glow-filled 5K night run along the scenic New Westminster Quay! Starting and finishing at Pier Park, this out-and-back route hugs the Fraser River, with stunning city lights and a festive atmosphere to celebrate at the finish.
The out-and-back route takes you along the waterfront boardwalk to the Quay’s turnaround point. The path is mostly flat with gentle curves, making it perfect for runners of all abilities.
Bring your brightest, wackiest costume, glow sticks, LED gear, or reflective attire to enhance the night-time atmosphere.
Conveniently scheduled the day after Halloween, so you can dress up and enjoy all your leftover candy!
