Family Fun Dash

Is your child ready to join the other ‘dashers’ as we kick off Hats off Day with a bang? This year’s Family Fun Dash is the perfect opportunity to have a blast chasing after your little one. The event features a brand new starting line and a choice of distance, including a longer 4-block run for those up for a challenge. All proceeds will benefit the Burnaby Firefighters Charitable Society. Plus, every child will receive an official finisher’s medallion and a bag of goodies.

Gather your team

Get ready to run for a good cause with your little ones!

Children 2 years and older need a team captain over 15 years old to accompany them. Children under 2 can join for free, but you can purchase an entry for them to receive their own bag.

Team Captains are responsible for ensuring all members of their team cross the finish line.

Finisher medals and bags will be ready for pickup starting May 30th, from the Gulf&Fraser credit union branch at 4191 Hastings Street, Burnaby  – watch for your email invitation to collect these!

Count me in!

How to sign up

The entry fee is $5 per child participant. All proceeds will benefit the Burnaby Firefighters Charitable Society. 

Your choice between a 3-block and a 4-block distance:  both distances, please gather outside the Gulf&Fraser branch on Hastings Street @ Carleton Ave, with faster runners in the eastbound lanes of the street no later than 9:30 a.m.

After warming up, we’ll cheer the start of the 3-block distance dashers, then walk the 4-block distance dashers to Madison Ave for their start.

Wait for the race horn to sound before dashing down Hastings Street towards Ingleton Avenue, where a team of Burnaby Firefighters will be at the finish line, at Ingleton Ave & Hastings St, to give you a hi-five!
