Thank You for Making Disco Dash Unforgettable!
What an incredible night! Thank you for making the inaugural Disco Dash a huge success.
It was an amazing celebration of our community. Together, we kicked off the opening of the full boardwalk path and made a real impact through our charity efforts – raising over $2,000 for KidSport New West. Your energy and enthusiasm brought the vibe to life, and we couldn’t have done it without you.
Mark your calendars:
Registration for next year opens mid-December. Let’s make the next Disco Dash even bigger and brighter!
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!

- Professionally timed, measured 5K course
- One beer included with race bib
- Swag bag with goodies
- Glow gear

Event Info
Course
Run the Riverbend! Join us for a flat, fast and scenic 5K or 10K along the Fraser River at Fraser Foreshore Park in Big Bend, Burnaby! Starting and finishing next to the Fraser Foreshore Pier, this route follows the river on wide paved and gravel paths.
The course is flat with wide paths, so there’s plenty of room to run your own race, whether you’re chasing a personal best or getting out for a morning by the river.
Runners will be treated with views of the Fraser River, stunning wildlife (including an eagles nest), some beautiful trails and maybe a tugboat or two.
Kids Race
The Kids Race is FREE to participate! We welcome all kids to participate at our event; however, the age limit for the kids race is 11 years old. It’s not timed, is non-competitive and purely for the fun of all involved. The Kids race will run a short 1KM out and back at 12pm.
