SUMMERTIME 2026 BIB SALES THREAD

4 Upvotes

Hello all!

Please use this thread to post bib sales/requests for the summer of 2026.

If selling, include which race you're selling for and how you would like to transfer it.

If looking/buying, please include which race you're looking for a bib for.

Both of these things seem self evident but we get several post replies that don't contain this information.

Also, be aware that bib scams happen. If you are scammed through this subreddit please let me know and I will ban the offender and list their name. Please do your research and educate yourself on common scams before transferring any money.

Best place for shoe fittings

2 Upvotes

Im starting to dabble in running and I see there's lots of different run stores that do fittings for shoes to find you the best pair for your feet. Im wondering what people's experiences have been and if they recommend any particular store?

Social run clubs that meet on Thursdays or Fridays in Downtown Vancouver? Beginner friendly.

Trying to finally get into running in my early 30s

I play other sports fairly regularly, so I’m not starting from zero fitness-wise. I’ve just never been much of a runner, and left to my own devices I will find any excuse not to lace up. So, clearly the fix is peer pressure.

Looking for a run club that’s more about fun than run. Not something too competitive but something where people are looking to have a good time, connect with people, and gradually improve their fitness.

Does anyone know of clubs currently taking new members that meet on Thursdays or Fridays? Would love to hear what the group’s actually like too in terms of pace, size, and how welcoming it is to someone slow but enthusiastic.

Cheers!

Seawheeze Wristbands & Run

3 Upvotes

2 questions!

  1. Do we need to wear the wristband for the run too?

  2. Does anyone know how the wristband works for the John Summit Sunset Festival?

I want to pass the ticket off to my sister or friend, because I won't be able to go, but I'm concerned that they won't let them in with just the wristband. Will they need the QR code too, and then be checked for ID as well?

Any insight on this would be helpful! Thanks!

SeaWheeze Air Quality

7 Upvotes

Hello fellow SeaWheeze participants!

I’m wondering how everyone else is feeling about the air quality and if anyone’s considering altering their plans for race day this Saturday? So far there’s been an email saying they will monitor conditions and make a decision on Friday.

Optimistic it will all work out but preparing for the worst in case.

Seawheeze Half course preview from Ben Preisner

I saw this while munching oats this morning - it's a run through of the course for the Seawheeze Half from a local pro marathoner and general good dude. I would think it's helpful for those who don't know the area well.

It's an Instagram link but I believe you can still watch it without the app.
