K9 Run

What a day. 💙🐾

THANK YOU to everyone who helped make the inaugural K9 Run so special.

To our participants, volunteers, vendors, sponsors, rescue partners, photographers, announcer, spectators, and of course, every amazing dog that joined us at Burnaby Lake, thank you for bringing so much positive energy and community spirit to this event.

🐾 200+ participants
🐶 150+ dogs
🙌 40+ volunteers
🛍️ 25+ vendors & community partners

Seeing dogs and humans cross the finish line together is something we’ll never forget.

📸 Event photos and race results are available at k9run.ca

Keep tagging us in your photos, we’d love to continue sharing them with the community.

Tomorrow’s the day! 🐕🏃‍♂️

A few final reminders:

🐾 Arrive early and allow extra time for parking
🐾 Dogs must remain on leash at all times
🐾 Please give your dog time to potty and warm up before your start
🐾 Stay single file on narrow trail sections and communicate when passing
🐾 Be respectful of other trail users and wildlife

We can’t wait to see you and your dogs at the start line tomorrow. 💙

🐾💚 It takes a community to bring the K9 Run to life.

A huge thank-you to all our supporters. This event wouldn’t be possible without you! Your support is helping inspire a more active, healthy life for dogs and humans alike. 🏁🐕✨

What’s a race without prizes? 🏆🐕🏃‍♂️

We’ve got some amazing awards lined up for the top 3 dog-and-human teams in the 5K and 10K categories, thanks to our incredible sponsors and supporters 🐾

🏅 Podium prizes are awarded only to dog-and-human teams in the 5K and 10K.
🏃 Solo runners are not eligible for podium awards.

Time to see who’s been taking training very seriously lately 👀

Ask your dog which kind of medal they’d prefer… We think we already know the answer 🏅🍪

Huge thank you to PawtyBakery.CA for creating and sponsoring these beautiful cookie medals for all the dogs crossing the K9 Run finish line ❤️

We have a feeling these might be the most motivating medals on race day 😄
