The Vancouver Sun Run and EVA Air are pleased to announce a three-year extension and expansion of their long-standing partnership. As a result, EVA Air will continue its dedicated sponsorship of the Mini Sun Run and will also become the official sponsor of the event’s cornerstone Team Division, now officially known as the BizFam Team Division.

This year’s run is happening on April 19th. TheTeam Division is a centerpiece of the Vancouver Sun Run, bringing together companies and community groups from across British Columbia. Last year, the division saw a record-breaking 27,802 participants across 1,400 teams, showcasing the power of teamwork and corporate wellness.

This expanded partnership elevates the corporate challenge, directly connecting the airline’s premium corporate travel initiative, EVA BizFam, with employee corporate health and team building. Just as EVA BizFam offers tailored convenience, flexibility, and care to its clients’ business and personal travel needs, this sponsorship provides those same corporate partners with a valuable, real-world platform to foster employee health, strengthen internal bonds, and celebrate shared achievement outside the traditional office environment.

“We are incredibly grateful for EVA Air’s continued and expanded support,” said Tim Hopkins, Vancouver Sun Run Race Director. “Their commitment to fostering community, from the youngest runners in the Mini Sun Run to the thousands of corporate teams, perfectly aligns with our mission. This new focus on the Team Division will help us celebrate the spirit of collaboration and wellness that makes the Vancouver Sun Run such a special event.”

The partnership will also include special events, prizes, and exclusive offers for Team Captains as a token of appreciation for their dedication throughout the year.

EVA Air is proud to deepen its connection with the Vancouver Sun Run community by expanding into the Team Division. This initiative is a perfect reflection of the airline’s core values—teamwork, wellness, and shared achievement—and it complements the organization’s commitment to corporate clients through the EVA BizFam program. EVA Air’s history of supporting young runners in the Mini Sun Run, made the decision to sponsor the corporate division seamless.

Looking ahead, the collaboration will also create a new international link between Vancouver and Taiwan, with plans to bridge the two continents through the EVA Air Marathon in Taipei in October 2026 and the Vancouver Sun Run on April 19th. Further details on this exciting development will be released at a later date.
