Vancouver

The Vancouver Half Marathon offers a scenic route that highlights the city’s waterfront and surrounding natural landscape. The course usually begins near the downtown waterfront before heading into Stanley Park, where runners follow roads surrounded by forest and ocean views. After leaving the park, the route continues along the Seawall with long stretches beside the Pacific Ocean. Runners then return toward downtown streets for the final kilometers and finish near the waterfront. The terrain includes several rolling sections, particularly through Stanley Park, but remains manageable for most runners. The combination of park roads, coastal paths, and skyline views gives participants a constantly changing backdrop.
