About This Race
The BMO Vancouver Marathon, organized by the local non-profit RUNVAN, is widely considered one of the world's most scenic marathon courses. The route showcases Vancouver's stunning natural beauty, running through Stanley Park, along the seawall, past English Bay, across the Burrard Bridge, and along the shores of False Creek. With mountain, ocean, and city views throughout, the Boston-qualifying course regularly sells out. The event offers a full marathon, half marathon, 8KM, and Kids Fun Run over a weekend of activities.
