About the BMO Vancouver Marathon

A long-running Canadian destination race, Vancouver blends a large urban field with Pacific scenery and a race weekend that sells well beyond local runners.

Course

The point-to-point route starts at Queen Elizabeth Park, rolls through neighborhood roads, and uses seawall-adjacent miles before the downtown finish.

Race-day weather

Early May usually brings cool coastal air, with rain and breeze more likely than heat. Layers at the start and patience on exposed waterfront sections help.
