Merrell is pleased to present the 7th Annual Seek The Peak Relay raising funds for Rethink Breast Cancer. The challenging 16-kilometer course starts on the beach at Ambleside Park in West Vancouver, winds its way through North Vancouver, then heads up the legendary Grouse Grind® to the Peak of Vancouver.
Seek the Peak is not strictly a race for elite athletes. Participants are primarily motivated by the symbolic overcoming of a significant obstacle, reflecting the ongoing fight against breast cancer.
This event is about rethinking what matters. It’s about rethinking our pain thresholds and our ambitions. More than this, it’s about rethinking our priorities. Support Rethink and together we will overcome breast cancer.
HOW TO FUNDRAISE
There are many ways to fundraise. Not sure how? Learn how to fundraise online or download the pledge form to do it manually. You can fundraise individually or grab a few friends or co-workers and start a team.
We encourage all participants to raise funds for Rethink by collecting pledges from friends, families, and co-workers to support the cause.
WHERE THE FUNDS GO
Over the past six years, this unique, pledge-driven event has raised over $200,000 for Rethink Breast Cancer. By participating in Seek the Peak you are helping fight breast cancer.
All funds that are raised from Seek the Peak go directly to BC-based researchers who are working towards the goal of finding a cure for breast cancer, and to the start up costs for valuable support programs for young women experiencing breast cancer in British Columbia.
$5 of your event entry fee and all proceeds from event shirt sales go directly to Rethink Breast Cancer.

The 7th Annual Grouse Mountain Seek The Peak Relay saw the third consecutive course record set by Vancouver resident Katrina Driver in a time of 1:35:39 (besting her previous record of 1:39:06), in the solo women category. The fastest male in the solo category was Greg Hockley, who clocked a time of 1:30:07. The quickest relay team was Team Boobs, and the group finished at a pace of 1:41:44.
The event drew over 500 race participants, with an even number of solo runners and relay teams, to overcome the 4,100 feet elevation gain in order to raise funds for Rethink Breast Cancer. Fundraising from this year’s event is expected to bring Seek the Peak's cumulative total to over $200,000 benefitting Rethink Breast Cancer.
