Abstract

The sport of running in Vancouver has a long and storied history. Thanks to the passion and vision of six running enthusiasts, including Jack Taunton, amateur distance runners had new opportunities to compete in their sport with the formation of Lions Gate Road Runners. Club members established numerous road races of varying distances in the 1970’s and 1980’s, contributing to Vancouver’s reputation as a world-renowned destination for runners of all talents.
