FAQs

Is “look fast, run fast” the new “look good, feel good?” Entry into the race means that you’ll also get your choice of exclusive runner shorts (while supplies last). All runners selected in the random draw will be invited to select their shorts a few weeks after the random draw is complete – stay tuned to your inboxes for more information.

Runners can select from four shorts options in 2026 including (based on inventory):

• Fast & Free 6” Short
• Hotty Hot HR 4” Short
• Mile Maker Short 6” Lined
• Pace Breaker Short 7” Linerless

Not to worry – you can change your short style and size on your Race Roster dashboard until May 3, 2026 while supplies last. If you want to change your short style or size after May 3, 2026 you can do so at Shorts Exchange at Package Pick-Up on August 6-7 (based on inventory).

We have a limited number of shorts available in each size / style so if you are unable to find your preferred option we recommend going with the next best thing. You can also try visiting us at Shorts Exchange on race weekend to see if there are additional styles available (please note – this is not guaranteed and all tags must remain on product in order to exchange).

All runners who opted-in to training with Runna during the registration process received an email on Thursday, May 7 with their access code to unlock 3 months of Runna Premium.

You can enter your code either on web (https://web.runna.com/redeem) or in-app via Profile → Referral Code.

• New to Runna? Click the link in the email sent directly to you, enter your email, and your three months will be applied automatically—no credit card required.
• Already a monthly Runna member? Log in and enter your unique code in the ‘Referral Code’ section. Your three months will be automatically added to your subscription.
• Already on an annual plan? Log in and enter your code to add three months to your existing membership.

No — access simply ends 3 months from the date you redeemed the code with no charge and no action needed from you. All codes expire on September 8, 2026.

Double check a couple of things first, this is almost always a formatting issue:

• A typo (common ones: 0 vs O, 1 vs I)
• An extra space before or after the code from copy-pasting
• The wrong code being used (each code is unique per person)

If that doesn’t fix it, reach out to support@runna.com or you can reach Runna support via:

• In-app chat: Profile → Help/Support
• Web: runna.com

All registered runners can check the details of their registration, including whether they opted-in for the 3-month complimentary Runna training program, through their Race Roster dashboard.

Opt in for the 3-month training plan is now closed as of May 3.

All registered SeaWheeze runners will be required to add the complimentary 3-month Runna training program to their registration prior to the training plan beginning in May. To do so, login to your Race Roster dashboard and click the “Edit registration” button. Then navigate to “Products” and add the “3-Month Complimentary Runna Subscription”. Be sure to save before exiting. As a reminder, all runners must opt-in by May 3 to receive this benefit. Opt-ins after this date are not possible

Sunset Festival, the official SeaWheeze afterparty, celebrates movement, community, and music (turned way up) in Vancouver’s Stanley Park. DJ John Summit headlines the stage, setting the soundtrack for the night ahead. Whether you’re celebrating a half marathon finish, cheering on the runners in your life, or just here for the vibes, this is your moment to move, connect, and dance.

There’s so much to look forward to:

• A high-energy music lineup headlined by DJ John Summit
• Yoga led by world-class instructors to recharge—your ‘disco nap’ on the mat
• Sunset Festival Store with exclusive drops you won’t get anywhere else
• Food, drinks, and golden-hour-ready photo ops

No–your race registration includes access to Sunset Festival so no need to purchase an additional ticket (unless your friends want to join you)!

Yes—a limited number of extra tickets for Sunset Festival will be sold following the drawing. Only individual tickets will be sold meaning each Festival attendee must purchase a ticket and complete an event wavier independently. Ticket sales for Sunset Festival will open on Thursday, February 12 at 10am PT.

To attend Sunset Festival you must be a minimum of 13 years of age. Anyone under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian present to complete the event waiver.

Sunset Festival takes place at Brockton Fields in Stanley Park.

All Sunset Festival tickets are general admission and cost $125 CAD.

No – each attendee must purchase their own ticket and complete a waiver, individually. Because we require all of our attendees to complete a waiver, only one ticket may be purchased per transaction and attendees may be asked to provide ID to validate their ticket at the Festival gates.

If you are no longer able to attend Sunset Festival – you may transfer your ticket through the Race Roster platform. All you need to do is log in to your Race Roster dashboard and select ‘Transfer’ – then follow the steps from there. Note – all ticket transfers will be charged a $20 administration fee.

Ticket transfers or sales made outside of the Race Roster platform are strictly prohibited.

We require all ticket holders to be at least 13 years of age. Ticket holders under the age of 18 will be required to have a parent or guardian complete the event waiver on their behalf.
