This event was set up a few years ago by Simon Fraser University student, Hungarian Peter Zubcsek. He needed a kick in the rear to become more active and use it as a fundraiser for the SFU Alumni Association Graduate Entrance Scholarship and thus hopefully help Simon Fraser University in attracting the finest of the world's young researchers.

The idea to set up a run here was mainly motivated by Ean Jackson but the legacy of Terry Fox, one of the greatest spiritual values at SFU also served as a great inspiration. The route was proposed by the Peter and measured by the other Hungarian CFA member Gyula Szabó.
When Peter returned to Europe, Tara Haddad took over as host.
The route goes through 2 conservation areas: Burnaby Mountain Park and Barnet Marine Park (click the links for trivia).
