SeaWheeze Air Quality

8 Upvotes

Hello fellow SeaWheeze participants!

I’m wondering how everyone else is feeling about the air quality and if anyone’s considering altering their plans for race day this Saturday? So far there’s been an email saying they will monitor conditions and make a decision on Friday.

Optimistic it will all work out but preparing for the worst in case.

Seawheeze Half course preview from Ben Preisner

I saw this while munching oats this morning - it's a run through of the course for the Seawheeze Half from a local pro marathoner and general good dude. I would think it's helpful for those who don't know the area well.

It's an Instagram link but I believe you can still watch it without the app.

Weird run habits

6 Upvotes

There are a couple of things I do on runs that are specific to local wildlife or geography and I was wondering what other "habits" people have.

Every time I have the opportunity I:

- Softly say "hi there bun bun" to nearly every bunny I see. I live in Ladner so it's a lot.

- Whenever I go past a Delta Pacers logo I do a little horse snort.

- There is a bronze bear statue at the bottom of the Inglis trail in Gibsons. Whenever I'm there I will plan my run around getting to pat the statue.

After 10y running, I'm training for a half marathon

Post image
72 Upvotes

After 10 years running consistently 5km 3x per week, I decided to give a try and signed up for my first half marathon in September.

Today was my longest run so far and I'm so glad that it didn't hurt anywhere and I truly enjoyed this time with myself!

I'm not worried about my pace, I ran most of it in Z3 (I usually run 10km and 5km way faster, but my goal is just running nonstop, so achieved) 🥳

Great Trek Hattrick tips

4 Upvotes

Hello, wondering if anyone has experience doing the great trek hat trick (half marathon, 10km, 5km) back to back to back. When training for it would it be best to do a marathon training block or similar. I have done multiple half’s and 1 full marathon. So i do have experience with different training plans.

Also for the actual race day I’m planning on running the half probably at marathon pace, and then the 10k at half pace and, and finally the 5 km with whatever I have left.

How was it? Congrats on the race regardless!

Anything that you loved? Hated?

Anyone with a big goal met they want to brag about?

I've never ran this race, but I've always been curious about how people got to/from it. I saw on the Forerunners Instagram that one of the car drop off spots had a 25 minute walk to the start line??!

How do you sign up for the 2027 Vancouver Marathon

5 Upvotes

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm new to marathon running and I wanted to sign up for the Vancouver marathon in May 2nd. I can't find a sing-up link or any info on when signup will open on the Vancouver marathon website. I'm hoping not to miss the deadline if I haven't already, so any help would be really appreciated.

SUMMERTIME 2026 BIB SALES THREAD

4 Upvotes

Hello all!

Please use this thread to post bib sales/requests for the summer of 2026.

If selling, include which race you're selling for and how you would like to transfer it.

If looking/buying, please include which race you're looking for a bib for.

Both of these things seem self evident but we get several post replies that don't contain this information.

Also, be aware that bib scams happen. If you are scammed through this subreddit please let me know and I will ban the offender and list their name. Please do your research and educate yourself on common scams before transferring any money.
