Bumrun Vancouver 2026 is a charitable running event dedicated to raising awareness and funds for colon cancer screening and prevention. Organized by the Canadian charity Bumrun, this event is part of a national series that has raised over $1.8 million for colon cancer research and patient support programs over the past 15 years. The event aims to highlight the importance of early detection, noting that 90% of colon cancer deaths could be prevented with proper screening.
The 2026 edition will take place at Jericho Beach Park in Vancouver, offering a scenic and accessible course for participants of all ages and fitness levels. The event includes a 5K walk/run, a "Little Bums" 500-meter kids' run, and a virtual 5K option for those who wish to participate remotely. Registration includes a race kit with Bumrun swag, a finisher medal, and a personalized fundraising page, encouraging participants to support the cause both on and off the course.
