Jeannine Avelino's thoughts:

For an in-depth look at this race, visit my blog here: http://everythingbutweddings.ca/2018/01/race-recap-big-elf-run-2017/

Organization – It’s well-organized and same day package pickup was available. They sent out timely reminder emails as well. It’s also on the transit route so you don’t have to drive if you don’t want to. I like how you can customize your elf name if you wish, or have it randomly generated. My random Elf Name ended up being Fudge Hotwrap. Let’s just say I will choose my own name next year 😛

Course – The 5k loop is great. It’s mostly flat and scenic. I don’t know if I would do 2 loops (10k) though. Mostly because, I don’t like running loops 😛

Swag – Runners get an elf hat and a little elf toy. There was also a McCafe truck giving out free hot chocolate and coffee.

Would I Do It Again? Yes! It’s such a great end to the running season. I love how pretty much everyone dressed up or at least wore the elf hat while running. It’s a great event to take the kids, kids at heart, or anyone wanting to get into running. The course is easy and beautiful, would you expect anything less from Stanley Park?
