Host Shub Karman speaks with Gurjinder Kaur Bhurji, Founder, Main Organizer and Race Director of Run Surrey Run, about one of Surrey, BC’s growing community road races.
Run Surrey Run 2026 is bringing together nearly 1,500 participants for 5K and 10K road races, along with a special Kids Run, health activities, recovery zones and community activations at Holland Park.
Gurjinder Kaur Bhurji shares the story behind Run Surrey Run, how the event grew from around 250 runners to nearly 1,500 participants, and why running is becoming increasingly popular in Surrey and the Lower Mainland.
The conversation also explores the importance of fitness, physical health, mental health, outdoor activities, running clubs, cycling, community wellness and healthy living. From beginners and families to experienced marathon runners, people of all ages and abilities can take part in this inclusive Surrey community event.
The discussion also highlights how running can become more than just exercise — it can support mental wellbeing, personal healing, connection with nature and overall wellness.
