The days are getting longer and it’s becoming easier to find time to spend outside in the natural beauty of Stanley Park. This year, why not spend your time outdoors while also helping support SPES’s conservation and education programs!
Known for its stunning beauty and scenic route, the BMO Vancouver Marathon leads runners through parks, neighborhoods and bustling city streets. The final stretch is breathtaking as it goes through Stanley Park and Coal Harbour. This year SPES is a Community Charity Partner for all the BMO Vancouver race events. Whether you’re a runner or not, there are many ways that you can become involved and help SPES!
