Congratulations to everyone who participated in the 2010 BMO Vancouver Marathon!
The weatherman called for rain but that certainly didn't dampen the spirits of over 14,000 runners! Just a recap on the highlights of 2010:
- Brita® sponsoring the Sports Expo and making us one of the few marathons in North America to go bottled water free!
-
Saucony's shoe ice sculpture and Triumph Lounge!
-
Running Room's extensive souvenir merchandise line!
-
McDonald's premium coffee - a warm drink on a not-so-warm day!
- Added Visually Impaired Category - one of two in Canada!
-
Speaker Program at the Brita Sports Expo!
- Downtown Eastside Foot Clinic's Shoe Drop (with the help of PODS and Running Room!)
- and more!
And thanks to YOU, we were able to give back to the community:
-
1.3 million dollars raised for charity
-
620 shoes for the Downtown Eastside Foot Clinic
-
250lbs of food for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society
-
30 garbage bags full of clothing donated to the Canadian Diabetes Association's ClothesLine program
-
1 truckload of food donated to the Union Gospel Mission
Now, looking ahead .. don't forget about our 40th annual BMO Vancouver Marathon on May 1, 2011!
