Third BMO Vancouver Marathon in the books.
This year felt different.

Building a family while scaling multiple companies is its own kind of endurance event. The work still needs to get done. The teams still need support. The responsibilities don’t pause. But one thing hasn’t changed since I was teenager: health comes first.
Proper fuel, consistent training, and the quiet belief that challenges can be managed one step at a time have always been my foundation. Last year was about peak fitness and performance metrics. This year wasn’t about PRs. It was about persistence, and resilience.
Around the 22 km mark, I lost focus for a split second, clipped an obstacle behind a cheering spectator, and hit the pavement hard. The first thought was simple:
Get up and finish!
By 27 km, severe cramps had set in. What carried me through wasn’t adrenaline. It was knowing my family was waiting at the finish line, along with the support of loved ones, the Crew who quietly make everything possible behind the scenes.
The experience was a reminder that wellbeing isn’t a weekend activity. It’s a daily commitment. It’s the discipline that keeps your mind clear, your Team steady, and your feet moving forward when the unexpected happens.
Grateful for my family, for the people closest to me, and for the incredible Teams at yYoung and Alkiss Water who continue to hold the foundation strong!
Marathon number three is complete!
Next stop: RBC GranFondo 2026
Onward.

What a phenomenal day galloping into the Year of the Fire Horse! 🐎🔥

Crossed the finish line at Vancouver’s iconic First Half Marathon on Feb 8, 2026, under the sunny skies, perfect weather to kick off the lunar new year with energy and purpose. 🌞 From the stunning Seawall course to the electric Vancouver community vibe, it was an unforgettable race day.

Proud to see our yYoung Wellbeing and Alkiss Water teams come together as official hydration partners, supporting runners with our mountain alkaline spring water to keep them all fueled, hydrated, and thriving every step of the way! 💧🏃‍♂️
Grateful to be part of this sold-out celebration of health and movement in our city.

🌟 Spreading kindness remains at the heart of what we do. To close out the 2025 year-end season, our team shared refreshing hydration and cozy hot chocolate with the Food Bank for their “Make the Season Kind” campaign. Grateful to team up and give back to our Vancouver community during the holidays. 💧☕️❤️

This is just one chapter in the ongoing philanthropic work of YYOUNG, building a legacy of impact, one act of generosity at a time. 🙌

Who’s ready for more in 2026? Let’s keep the momentum going!

Crossing the line with gratitude and grit! 🍂

Set a new 10K personal best at the Turkey Trot — the perfect way to celebrate Thanksgiving seasonccd . The crisp autumn air, golden leaves, and that burst of orange gear all came together as a reminder of energy, warmth, and renewal.

Orange wasn’t just a colour for the day — it’s the spirit of fall, the fire of determination, and a symbol of everything I’m thankful for: health, community, and the joy of running.

Fuel with alkiss WATER!🏃🏻‍♂️🍁

Alkiss® WATER 很荣幸成为今年 RBC GranFondo Whistler 的赞助商，这是一项世界级的公路自行车赛事，沿风景秀丽的海天公路从温哥华到不列颠哥伦比亚省的惠斯勒举行。
yYoung Water公司恰逢 2010 年温哥华冬奥会，推出了送水服务和瓶装水产品。不久之后，RBC GranFondo 赛事应运而生，并发展成为世界级的自行车骑行体验，是北美首屈一指的 GranFondo 赛事。Alkiss® 水被选为这项屡获殊荣的年度赛事的官方碱性补水产品，我感到非常荣幸和高兴。
这是我第一次参加公路自行车比赛，尽管赛事前夕发布了雾霾和天气预警，但我决心完成 RBC GranFondo，这是我长期以来一直渴望完成的挑战。沿着风景秀丽的公路骑行，饱览大海和森林的壮丽景色，是一次难忘的经历。我感到非常幸运，能够将这个美丽的省份——不列颠哥伦比亚省——称为我的家乡。

很荣幸能够在这场盛会上与鼓舞人心的领导者们一起完成我的第一次 RBC GranFondo 赛事。与 RBC 不列颠哥伦比亚省区域总裁、RBC 商业金融服务区域副总裁以及 BCIT 总裁合影。

Alkiss®️ WATER was proud to be a sponsor at this year’s RBC GranFondo Whistler, a world-class road cycling event which takes place along the scenic Sea to Sky Highway from Vancouver to Whistler, BC.

yYoung Water Company launched its water delivery and bottling service just in time for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. Soon after, the RBC GranFondo was established and has since grown into a world class cycling experience, and is the premier GranFondo in North America. It was a true honour and joy to see Alkiss®️ WATER selected as their official alkaline hydration for this award-winning annual event.

This was my first year taking up road cycling, and despite smog and weather warnings leading up to the event, I was determined to complete the RBC GranFondo, a challenge that had long been on my bucket list. Riding along the scenic highway, with sweeping views of the ocean and forests, was an unforgettable experience. I feel truly blessed to call this beautiful province, British Columbia, home.

Honoured to complete my first RBC GranFondo alongside inspiring leaders at this epic event. Group photo with the Regional President of BC RBC, Regional VP of Commercial Financial Services of RBC, and President of BCIT.

Marathon #2 — Complete!
What an unforgettable experience at the 2025 BMO Vancouver Marathon with a record-breaking attendance of 25,000 runners!

Each year, alkiss WATER proudly hydrates participants along the racecourse and at the finish line, where each runner earns not just a medal, but also our signature alkiss 500 ml bottle to celebrate the achievement.

I hit the wall hard at 28 km. It got emotional right at that moment where everything feels good, you’re pushing for your best, and then your muscles just crash. Despite all that, I managed to make it to my personal best record!

A quick shoutout to all the runners who set PBs and PRs out there. Fueling and hydration really does make or break a race. Having gels that your body can tolerate and staying well-hydrated are essential.

On behalf of yYoung Wellbeing (the parent healthcare conglomerate company), and the incredible crew, we are humbled to be able to contribute to such a spectacular annual event!

They say up to 60% of the human body is water. If this is accurate, then all of us at the BMO Vancouver Marathon are fortunate to have experienced the taste of alkiss WATER, the world’s top destination mountain spring water. Life starts with alkiss! Product of Canada.

First marathon completed, and I am so grateful it’s been done in my beautiful hometown Vancouver! All of 42.2 km (26.2 miles) was gorgeous living up to its scenic award-winning course as one of the top destination marathons, and now grown into Canada’s largest Marathon race.

The fist pump @ 25 miles felt surreal and taking it home to the finish with our community cheering behind every childhood memorable corner unimaginably raised my adrenaline.

This was my first adventure running over half marathon in 1 GO. My bar of ‘feels good’ habits just got raised.

Giving appreciation where credit is due.

I wouldn’t be where I am without the help of others. I recognize that when good people come together, we can work together to make a great difference.

Thank you to our medical and alkiss WATER teams for taking time out recently to meet and further cement their working relationships. Those who could not make it were sincerely missed.
