2023 Registration Opens November 30, 2022

Welcome to The 11th Annual Live Love Run 1k, 5k, 10k & 21k!

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 race 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 race 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.

2022 total funds raised: CAD$620.00

Your event package will arrive before October 14th. This gives you the option to help us raise money and awareness, run where you live, (maybe create a group run with friends?!), and we can all run together around the world on the same day!

Important: Online Registration for our Virtual Runners closes August 20th so that we have time to mail your package to you before event day.

Local Event Info: This event is very special for us, as we started it seven years ago to support two very important and amazing women, Amy and Veronica. We continue hosting this event to honour their memories, raise money for breast cancer research and awareness, and to support those we love who are also fighting their own battles against cancer.

CHIP TIMING: We focus on being present, our journeys to get to the start line and we challenge everyone to release the pressure we put on ourselves to run timed. We encourage all paces and abilities to look around and take in the whole experience. Thank you for being apart of that. Our events focus on your race journey and not your finish time. We celebrate all finish lines no matter the time, therefore do not have chip timing.

We have students joining us from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy to offer finish line massages by donation (cash or credit). Donations are for Abreast In A Boat.
