Event summary
Get ready for an exhilarating day at The Great Grocery Run on Saturday, December 6th, 2025, in beautiful New Westminster, Metro Vancouver! This unique 3km race invites participants to not only sprint along the stunning New Westminster Quay but also to make a meaningful impact in the community by carrying non-perishable food items to donate. The more cans you bring, the better your finishing time—it's a fun twist that combines fitness with philanthropy! For just $10 and at least one food item, you can join the excitement and help support local families in need through the Don’t Go Hungry initiative.
But the fun doesn't stop there! After the run, be sure to visit the Steel & Oak Holiday Market, where you can enjoy a lively atmosphere filled with craft vendors, delicious food specials, and plenty of festive activities. Last year, participants donated over 200 items, and this year, we’re aiming to surpass that goal. Join us for a day of running, giving, and community spirit—it's the perfect way to kick off the holiday season!

Organiser's Description
Grab those pantry staples and get ready to run... while carrying them!
The Great Grocery Run is back on December 6th!
What’s The Great Grocery Run?It’s not just a race, it’s a chance to make a difference while enjoying the beautiful New Westminster Quay. As much as you can enjoy it - that is. You'll be running while carrying as many cans as possible. That's the twist! Bring cans to donate, and the more you carry on the run, the better your finishing time will be!
Every food donation goes directly to Don’t Go Hungry, supporting local families in need.
How It Works:Distance: 3km run along the scenic New Westminster QuayEntry: $10 + at least one non-perishable food itemThe twist: Carry your donated items during the run (only undamaged items count!)Scoring: Your finish time is divided by the number of items you donateExample: 20-minute finish ÷ 20 items = 1-minute adjusted time
Why Join?Last year, six runners donated over 200 items. This year, we’re aiming even higher, to help donate more food items and create more festive cheer in our local community. Steel & Oak will be hosting their annual Holiday market on the same day. There will be craft vendors, food specials, and fun activities to enjoy after the run is finished!
