Why race and fundraise for VSAC?

Survivors deserve access to services that support them to find healing after sexual assault.

This year we want to highlight the need for our community’s support to keep our Sexual Assault Clinic open. The Clinic is a place where recent survivors of sexual assault can get immediate emotional support, medical care, and access to police reporting in the difficult hours and days after a sexual assault has occurred. This incredible program is the only one of its kind in BC and is wholly funded through grants and donations from the community.

This year we’ve set a goal of raising $35,000 and you can help us get there. Participating in this community event, as a racer and fundraiser is a rewarding experience. Every dollar you raise ensures survivors of sexual assault have access to life-changing services and programs.

Get started in two easy steps

Step one, register to race:

Seeing the word triathlon can be daunting, but the Triathlon of Compassion really puts the “try” in Triathlon – our focus is on completion, not competition! It is a shorter distance triathlon (500m swim, 20k bike and 5k run), making it an ideal event for beginners and a great tune-up for experienced athletes!

The event also features race distances for kids, ages 5 years old and up.

The other great part is that you can sign up as a team of three; meaning one swimmer, one biker and one runner! We bet you can find two friends, family members or co-workers to create a team with you. Teams of two are good to go as well.

Step two, set up your fundraising page:

Become a #CompassionateTriathlete and fundraise with us! It only takes a few minutes to set up your fundraising page. From there you can reach out to your friends, family or co-workers to ask them to support you! You can sign up as an individual fundraiser or as a fundraising team.
