	Surrey is currently the second largest city in BC and one of the fastest growing in all of Canada. Within the next decade, Surrey is expected to take Vancouver’s place as the largest city in the province. It’s no surprise then, that with Surrey’s diverse array of cultures, our city has a truly international flavour. Surrey is known as the City of Parks, with over 6,000 acres of parks and green spaces beautifully sprinkled throughout a growing metropolis. The natural beauty of Surrey and the cultural opportunities lend themselves to many tourism and entertainment opportunities throughout the year. We welcome you to join us in celebrating all that Surrey has to offer!

	The Running Room is proudly a family-owned company. It originated in 1984 out of founder John Stanton’s wish to purchase quality running shoes from someone knowledgeable about the sport. New to the sport of running, John had a thirst for knowledge as well as a desire to buy the right product. This entrepreneurial retailer decided to fill a niche in the marketplace by opening a small one-room store in the renovated living room of an old house in Edmonton, hence the name, “Running Room.” The concept was highly successful, and the stores have since expanded to over 115 locations across Canada and the United States.
