VFAC Track Series Vision
- Provide distance track races for runners to compete and participate within the City of Vancouver. Track running is not easily accessible to those outside of school, university, or club systems. The addition of this series facilitates an introduction to a new discipline in a supportive and fun racing environment.
- Strengthen Vancouver’s running community from both social and racing perspectives with the opportunity to improve personal performance.
- Encourage community and personal wellbeing through physical and emotional development in a low stress and social racing setting.
