Race for the Kids Event Information - BC Children's Hospital Foundation

Take a step towards conquering childhood illnesses

On Sunday, June 12, go the distance for BC’s kids by running where you live. The 2022 RBC Race for the Kids will take place in two ways: run in your own home community, wherever you live across BC through our virtual race, or join live, in-person events located in Vancouver and Victoria.

While many strides have been made in improving children’s health care, we’ve only scratched the surface when it comes to taking on the biggest health threats facing our kids. From advancing care to improving survival rates, we’re working to break through the barriers that remain.

Every step you take can make a difference in the life of a child, and this year you can choose how you want to participate.

Ready to get involved? Here are a few things to know.
