Race Information
There isn't a more famous place in Vancouver to run, jog, or walk than Stanley Park's Seawall. The Seawall loops around Stanley Park, running along the park's northern, western, and southern coastlines. Fully-paved, the Seawall is an ideal pathway for walkers, joggers, and runners of all skill levels, and its route--with views of the city, northern mountains, and Lion's Gate Bridge--is undeniably beautiful.
The 10k Route circles Stanley Park's Seawall once, and the 5k the Dovian Park loop.
