Strong partnerships with host communities is of utmost importance and an imperative mandate of the Series. The following was implemented in each community to ensure local partnerships continue to thrive:

• At least one charity partner is designated for each event.
• Free, community-based Kid’s Fun Runs are included in every event, providing an opportunity for families to share this experience and encouraging a healthy lifestyle.
• Free coaching tips clinics are held at each event by Olympic coaches.
• Local leadership on the Race Committee, including Directors and Area Captains.
• Local volunteer involvement, local spectator opportunities and local sponsorships.
  

Some of our partner charities have included:

• Leukemia and Lymphoma Society
• Vancouver Lifeguard Association
• Vancouver Korean Presbyterian Church
• Dragon Hybrids Dragon Boat Team
• UBC Sailing Club
• Jericho Sailing Centre
