Race morning finds participants gathering on a firm and slightly soft surface, with low UV index conditions making for comfortable weather despite the possibility of mild autumn breezes. On October 4th, early risers will find the streets cool but not chilly—temperatures in the mid to upper teens Celsius, perfect for starting an energetic run or walk.
For six years now, Run for Sobriety has brought together a community that supports and empowers each other through their stories of recovery. The event draws participants from all walks of life who are committed to making a difference locally by raising awareness about substance use disorders and mental health issues. This year’s race offers both 10k and 5k distances, with limited spots available for each.
The course venue is set at Noel Booth Elementary School, starting and finishing in the same location. The route includes a mix of firm surfaces that are slightly soft due to typical autumn weather conditions. Starting at 9:40 am, runners will hear speeches and announcements before beginning their race. Elevation changes are minimal; however, aid stations will be strategically placed throughout the course for hydration needs.
At 10 am sharp, the 5k and 10k races start simultaneously. The event is designed to ensure a smooth experience with no gear check available on-site. Each participant receives a 15% discount coupon at New Balance Langley, a race bib, a 2026 finisher medal, complimentary barbecue post-race, and an R4S branded cookie upon crossing the finish line.
Registration can be done through https://raceroster.com/events/2026/122468/run-for-sobriety-2026. Fees are $40 for May 4th to June 30th, rising to $45 from July 1st to August 31st and finally to $50 between September 1st and October 4th. A minimum donation of CA$10 goes directly towards supporting the Canadian Mental Health Association - British Columbia or The Running on Faith Project.
Bibs can be picked up at New Balance Langley (19950 Willowbrook Dr #1, Langley) from May 2nd to September 12th. Race day pick-up is also available between 8:45 am and 9:30 am at the event location. Participants should bring their race bibs for immediate activation.
