Start and Finish:

Brae Island Regional Park, Fort Langley, BC. Located on an island in the Fraser River, this regional park has both a day-use area and a full-​service campground. Trails follow along the river’s edge and through open forests of tall cottonwood trees to lookouts with views of the river and mountains. 

All event distances cross the bridge along Glover Road, over the Fraser River to the Fort-to-Fort Trail. This is an urban trail, wide path with compact dirt/gravel. You are treated with rolling hills, views of the Fraser River, Golden Ears and the surrounding mountains. This is a stroller friendly course.

We have four event distances options:

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.
