The Under Armour Eastside 10K was an amazing success! It was great to see so many runners come out and support the Eastside community and we couldn’t have asked for better conditions for the run.
Here are some of the race-day highlights:
In case you missed it, Lanni Marchant appeared on Breakfast Television Vancouver on Friday to talk about the Eastside 10K and how to go from the couch to a 10k in no time.

Here are some race day stats:
There were approximately 2,800 participants in the race with family and friends cheering along the route!
