2026 Forever Young Run

The 2026 Forever Young Run returns to Richmond, British Columbia on September 13th, an event that has been a staple of the local community for its twelfth consecutive year.
Set in the picturesque and welcoming atmosphere of Richmond's Brighouse area, participants will start their journey at Brighouse Heritage Park. The park’s tree-lined paths are well-maintained, providing runners with firm yet slightly soft conditions to navigate through. As early morning dew gives way to a warm but manageable climate, runners can expect temperatures around 18°C to 20°C, coupled with moderate UV levels (3.5).
This event is not just about the race; it's a celebration of active senior living and recognition for those dedicated to maintaining their fitness well into their golden years. Sponsored by The Forever Young Club, this Not-for-Profit run supports the TELUS Friendly Future Foundation, ensuring that funds raised go towards making a difference in our community.
The course itself offers a 5K distance suitable for both seasoned runners and newcomers looking to challenge themselves. While the 8K option is also available, limited spots are still open for those eager to participate. The race will kick off at Brighouse Heritage Park with an expected start time of 7:00 AM on September 13th.
Participants can expect a well-marked route that includes slight elevation changes and turns through the park's scenic trails. Aids stations will be strategically placed along the course to ensure hydration and nutrition support is available, making it easier for all participants to push their limits while staying hydrated.
Weather conditions are generally firm but slightly soft on race morning due to typical September weather patterns in Richmond. With UV levels at a moderate 3.5, sunscreen application is advised. The temperature will range from 18°C to 20°C, creating an ideal environment for running without the risk of extreme heat or cold.
