Race morning temperatures in Vancouver are usually cool in May. The BMO Vancouver Marathon is a scenic award-winning course that traditionally takes runners on a 42.2KM (26.2 miles) adventure past beaches, through natural parks, and along Vancouver’s Seawall – the world’s longest uninterrupted waterfront path. Please be careful while racing!
