The founder and organizer of Run Surrey Run, Gurjinder K Bhurji, has created a virtual event as well as the actual event to showcase our beautiful city of Surrey.

Just before the rains kickstart again in September Surrey residents are encouraged to take advantage of the sunshine and go for a walk or participate in a 5K & 10K run.

The road race is taking place on September 10th. The virtual race is going to take place from Sept 8-Sept 10th, 2023.

Run Surrey Run’s vision is to create a sustainable and inclusive world class run that aims to promote a healthy lifestyle for the vibrant and diverse community of Surrey.

With the encouragement and support of our Community Partner RBC, the City of Surrey and other generous sponsors and community volunteers, we look forward to showcasing our world-class city once again and bringing together the strength of our community for the health and benefit of all.

Run Surrey Run is being organized as a not for profit event benefiting not only the participants of the Run, but also supporting community charities.

Registration is now open. To register go to www.RunSurreyRun.com
