Thank You!

The 2016 Canuck Place Adventure race was a huge success. Thank you to all racers, donors, sponsors, and supporters who helped us to raise over $100,000! Your support is truly appreciated and will allow us to continue to provide world-leading pediatric palliative care to children and families across BC.

The Canuck Place Adventure Race is the ultimate celebration of outdoor athleticism. This multi-sport, family-friendly event is a fun and exciting test of endurance and technical skills with the course taking participants through one of Vancouver’s most scenic routes. Participants fundraise to support the complex and critical care needed by BC children living with life-threatening illnesses and their families.
