About the Event

The Big Elf Run

Come join us for the 11th annual Big Elf Run on Saturday December 13th 2025. This holiday themed run offers a 5km/10km/15km Big Elf Run/Walk (2pm) as well as a 1km Wee Elf Run/Walk (1pm) around scenic Stanley Park.

Run with hundreds of elves, enjoy a DJ, “elfie station”, prize giveaways, vendors and more. The Big Elf Run tours picturesque Stanley Park. Starting at Lumberman's Arch, the course winds its way along trails surrounded by old oak trees before looping onto the seawall with hallmark views of Coal Harbour and the Burrard Inlet. With few inclines and mainly paved paths, everyone is assured a beautiful and stress-free run/walk. The route is for all ages and abilities. Pet & Stroller Friendly! Pets and strollers must start in the last wave to ensure the safety of other participants.

  • Elf Name Bib (Customize by Nov 16th 11:59pm)
  • Elf Toque
  • Chip Timing (5km/10km/15km only)
  • Wooden Medal that doubles as tree Ornament! Made in BC.
