2010 Race Report

VANCOUVER, BC (March13, 2010) — Despite slightly cool and damp weather, over 800 runners participated in the 2010 St. Patrick's Day 5k. With a strong field assembled, we watched as both the men's and women's course records were broken by Dylan Wykes in a time of 14:30 and Kristina Rody in 16:46. This set them both up for not only the overall cash prizing from BMO but also taking home the course record bonus sponsored by Patricia Houlihan and the cash grab for the fastest mile sponsored by EBA Engineering Consultants Ltd. The overall depth of the field was top notch with 23 runners posting a sub-17 minute 5k time securing the St Patrick's Day 5k as one of the fastest and most competitive 5k races in the Lower Mainland.

It wasn't all about fast times as the bulk of the race consisted of hundreds of runners and walkers dressed in green with some great costumes. All there to not only take part in the Granville Island Brewing after party but also raising funds for the Canadian Diabetes Association.

With the after party stretching into the late afternoon, the 2010 St Patrick's Day 5k could be consider no less than a complete success!
