BC’s largest family fun run helps support the incredible work being done at BC Children’s Hospital.

Whether it be for small injuries or even the much larger, unexpected issues, all of our families are so very grateful for the amazing care our kids receive at BC Children's Hospital.

Last year, Charles Dickens Dragons had over 100 runners & supporters and together, we raised $12, 942!✨

The fun run is a 2km or 5km walk / run around 🌳Queen Elizabeth Park.

✨To join Charles Dickens Dragons team, please register here 

You can join the team or share the link to support a runner!

Our goal this year is to reach $14,000.

We look forward to another fantastic Dickens turnout at this year’s RBC Race for the Kids.

See you there!
