How fast does someone need to be to be considered

How fast does someone need to be to be considered elite? It depends on their age, gender, and the category! Have a look and let us know, do you qualify?

(And if like most people, you don’t, we still love you and are so excited to cheer for you on race day!)

At the Vancouver Half Marathon, we are honoured to

At the Vancouver Half Marathon, we are honoured to work with charity partners like the CPBF, who help bring hope, awareness, and education to parents and children affected by premature birth. ⁠
⁠
Team captain of the Canadian Premature Babies Foundation had this story to share. If you're inspired, consider joining the charity challenge to help raise funds for CPBF:⁠
⁠
"Our daughter Hazel was born in 2016 at just 23 weeks gestation. At birth she weighed less than one pound at only 420 grams. Smaller than even a brick of butter, her entire hand fit into my husband’s thumbnail. This is how our journey into parenthood began. We spent the next 6 months in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Royal Columbian Hospital and during that time I became connected with the Canadian Premature Babies Foundation – CPBF. They provided resources and information so that I knew how to properly advocate for our baby and most importantly they fostered a community of other preemie parents so that those 175 days in the NICU didn’t feel so isolating.⁠
⁠
Our journey after the NICU didn’t stop simply because we’d come home. For the past 8 years we’ve advocated for, and supported our sweet daughter through diagnoses, surgeries, school and everything in between and we were able to do so confidently because of the support that CPBF offers.⁠
⁠
I became involved as a parent partner with CPBF when Hazel was just over a year old and have had the immense honour and opportunity of connecting with preemie parents across the world and using my voice to help influence change.⁠
⁠
Last year Canadian Premature Babies Foundation had it’s inaugural year at the Vancouver 5k and we were there with our family, friends, NICU Nurses and even Hazel’s teacher to support CPBF and to cheer Hazel on as completed the 5k with us.⁠
⁠
We watched our daughter, with cerebral palsy – who we were told might never walk, cross that finish line with immense pride in herself and we have CPBF to thank for their unwavering support in families globally.⁠
⁠
We look forward to representing CPBF again this year, with Hazel again leading the way and an even bigger team than last year!"⁠
