BMO Vancouver Marathon
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Vancouver's road marathon starts at Queen Elizabeth Park and works its way towards a downtown finish via UBC, Spanish Banks, Kitsilano and Stanley Park's paved seawall. There is plenty to look at, but this rolling course also deserves some attention underfoot. The point-to-point route makes start transport worth sorting early. General entry is through the organiser; for 2027, runners must finish within six hours and reach 30 km within four, so the halfway split is only part of the pacing calculation.
