49th James Cunningham Seawall Race

james cunningham sewall race logoThe James Cunningham Seawall Race is the oldest consistently run race in the City of Vancouver. Runners start at Second Beach in Stanley Park, join up with the Seawall and make their way counter-clockwise around the park as they have done since 1971, with the race finishing back at Second Beach.

Race History

Lions Gate Road Runners started this race in 1971, the year the last stone was laid on the seawall, in honour of James Cunningham, a Scottish stonemason who made construction of the Seawall his life’s passion.
