Sub Rosa Vancouver
Presented by: RunAsYouAre x SAYSKY
We’re bringing the legendary Sub Rosa Race to our own backyard. In partnership with SAYSKY, this underground-style checkpoint race is hitting the streets of Vancouver for one unforgettable night.
Expect speed, strategy, and streetlight energy as you navigate your way from checkpoint to checkpoint, earning a sign-off at each stop to complete the course. It’s fast. It’s fun. It’s Sub Rosa - and if you know Kitsilano, get ready to show off your navigation skills.
Join us for an evening that blends community, chaos, and good vibes, all wrapped in the spirit of SAYSKY.
