The Race For Life is a charity race event where riders and parents fund raise to gather donations for BC Children's Hospital Leukemia Cancer Research. It's all about kids helping kids.

All proceeds from the entry fees will be sent to BC Children's Hospital Leukemia Cancer Reserch. Riders can also collect funds before and after the race and receive special prizes provided by BMX Canada and North Shore BMX, based on the amount collected. Tracks earn the privilege of double point status for their 2017 Race For Life by attaining a $1,500 donation goal this year.
