About Girlfriends Half Marathon, 10K & 6K
The Girlfriends Run is a half marathon, 10K and 6K on the Vancouver Waterfront, starting at 695 Waterfront Way. It was designed for women to get together and do something good for themselves, and guys can join in as part of the Pink Brigade.
About half the field runs, half walks, and many do some of each. It doesn't matter how you get to the finish line, as long as you get there. A 6K walk is offered, and virtual 6K, 10K and half marathon options let you take part from anywhere.
The race benefits the Pink Lemonade Project. It began to honor Joleen Skarberg, a friend diagnosed with breast cancer, who still runs it with family and friends wearing bib #1. Together, the Girlfriends and the Pink Brigade have raised over $900,000.
