8th annual lululemon SeaWheeze Half Marathon and Sunset Festival this weekend
Now in its 8th year, lululemon’s SeaWheeze Half Marathon and Sunset Festival is one of the most popular half marathon experiences in the world. As a company grounded in run and yoga, the SeaWheeze experience is a unique way to discover lululemon’s roots in the Pacific Northwest, experience its technical product, and celebrate the inspiration behind the iconic Canadian lifestyle brand.
The scenic course winds along Vancouver’s picturesque waterfront, including Stanley Park, downtown and Kitsilano, where lululemon began. Pacers—lululemon Ambassadors from around the world—lead SeaWheeze’s 10,000+ runners past an array of energetic cheer stations, who keep the sweat and excitement flowing for 21.1 kms.
Though the half marathon itself is sold-out, the run is only one part of the fun that draws people to SeaWheeze from all over the world. This event is never the same twice—each year lululemon develops a brand-new theme, exclusive product, musical acts and yoga teachers. Guests don’t have to be runners to join in on the fun, they can participate in large group yoga classes at Jack Poole Plaza, shop exclusive limited-edition gear at the highly anticipated SeaWheeze Showcase store, and attend Sunset Festival.
Sunset Festival is the official after-party held in Stanley Park’s Brockton Oval for both the runners and the community. Concert goers will flow into the night with some world-class yoga, led by lululemon Global Yoga Ambassador, Baron Baptiste. This year, internationally-acclaimed DJ Kaskade is set to headline the post party! In addition, electronic music producer, Big Wild will warm up the crowd for an anticipated three hour long dance party.
