On Sunday May 20, following the static ABFM event at VanDusen, the annual Vancouver-All-British Whistler Run will take place.
This fun day gives participants the opportunity to drive their British vehicles on one of the world’s most scenic roads, the Sea-to-Sky Highway.
Entrants gather Sunday morning at West Vancouver’s Park Royal Centre South Mall for a pre-departure noggin n’ natter session that includes coffee and muffins and a goody bag that includes a special edition metal dash plaque and the official Bumper Rally Placard.

First car is flagged off at 9am, others arrive, and leave at will (last car out 10:30am), for the approximately 119-kilometre drive to the alpine village of Whistler.
