Organizers of Vancouver’s Sun Run are seeking terrorism insurance for the event, after this week's bombings at the Boston Marathon.
Jamie Pitblado confirms BC Athletics, the organization that oversees track and field events in the province, is looking for a quote for terrorism coverage on the Sun Run's behalf.
"It's something that we've obviously talked (about), and looked at the various options in ensuring that we have the safety of our guests at hand, yeah."
He says he doesn't know what exactly that type of insurance would cover.
Extra police officers and volunteers will be on hand for Sunday’s race as a precaution.
Pitblado says more than 46,000 have registered, and more are expected.
Some of the money collected will be donated to those affected in the Boston attack.
