We love our running community ! Join our Strava club and become part of a movement to empower women in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. As you log your miles, you’re not just running, you’re raising awareness and, hopefully, raising vital funds for the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre’s vital meal program.
Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or a beginner, every step counts towards supporting women’s wellness, safety, and empowerment. Lace up, join our community, and let’s run together for a brighter, more inclusive future!
Eastside 10k
We are proud to announce that Team DEWC raised $11,131 at this year’s Eastside 10K!
This amazing achievement reflects the power of our community, every year we get to see people come together to make sure women in the DTES have the safety, meals, and support they need to thrive. To our runners, donors, and every supporter who shared encouragement along the way, we are so grateful.
Together, we’ve proven that when we run as one, we can create lasting change. Sign up below for updates on our future running events! Thank you, and see you next year!
Vancouver Half-Marathon
In 2025, Team DEWC shone brightly at the Vancouver Half-Marathon, raising over $19,000 in support of vital services and empowerment programs for women in the Downtown Eastside.
We were also thrilled to be recognised with the event’s brand-new Spirit Award, voted on by participants and staff. This award celebrates the charity that brings the most energy, engagement, and community spirit to race day — and our incredible Fundraising Committee did just that. Their excitement, cheer, and commitment created a welcoming and spirited atmosphere at the DEWC stand, making the day unforgettable for runners and supporters alike.
A heartfelt congratulations to everyone who ran, cheered, donated, and celebrated with Team DEWC — this success is truly yours.
