Always Bringing You The Best Race Events

And please keep checking back as we are always adding new events.
Our original race was the Downtown Dash in 1994, which took place in Downtown Burlington. This first ever 5k race had 160 runners. We then decided (along with enthusiastic running groups from our store at the time, The Village Runner) that we would create a half marathon. Beginning the following year, that race started at the Oakville Village Runner and finished at our Burlington Village Runner. For that very first year we had over 250 runners with proceeds from the event going to Halton Women’s Shelter. That race (now the Chilly Half Marathon) has carried on over the past 24 years to become one of Canada’s premier half marathons with thousands participating each year including many world-class runners, as well as elite Canadian athletes and Olympians.
In 1999 the first ever Burlington Marathon was initiated and the response was amazing. The Burlington Rock ‘N Roll Marathon, Half Marathon and 5K continued for 5 years until it outgrew the city. There still may be another marathon in the future.
VR PRO continued to organize new races every year including the Canada Day 5K, Waterfront Trail, Hannukah Hustle, Disco Dash, and Jingle Bell Race, which eventually became the Santa Burlington 5K, Canada’s First and Largest All-Santa Race Event. Our All-Santa Races became so popular we eventually organized similar events in Hamilton, ON and Burlington, Vermont as well as several other cities!
VR PRO is very excited to now be offering Virtual Races with several of
their most popular events; allowing runners and walkers to participate in these great race events from anywhere in the world!
Visit the link above to view pics and results from the 2019 Butter Tart Virtual Race to see runners and walkers from as far away as France and Germany taking part in this unique event. Then, start planning the perfect virtual event for your friends, family, or co-workers. Imagine how much fun you can have! VR PRO Virtual Events always include the same amenities as the actual race - like race premiums, bibs, finisher medals, and more!
Virtual Races were also held in conjunction with the 2019 All-Santa Events and 2020 New Balance Chilly Half Marathon! These virtual events have a limited number of participants and sell out fast - so register early!
