bmovm-KingQueenHill-header

“This was my first BMO Vancouver Marathon and it was an awesome event. The spectators were loud and plentiful and the weather was phenomenal. I think it was a neat initiative to throw in the Camosun Hill challenge. I definitely enjoyed it and I’ll just have to go a bit faster next year!” – local Mike McMillan [2nd, King of the Hill Challenge].

relay-ExchangeZone3-whugs-header

“After doing some research and finding out that the BMO Vancouver Marathon was one of the best destination marathons in the world, couldn’t pass it up. The event was amazing. I enjoyed the course. The crowd support at the exchange zones was unbelievable!”- Ryan Oberneir, who traveled and ran with his former collegiate coach. [1st Marathon Relay – Male and Overall]

“We are a group of women runners who are part of larger “club”… We thought it would be fun to be a part of the event this year as a team given that we have so much fun together socially. The view is gorgeous and the crowd was full of excitement.” – Maureen Curtin [1st Marathon Relay – Female]

“It was unexpected, and we were all thrilled. Our run coach decided the legs for us based on our strengths… I got the first leg because I thrive on punishment and so got that horrible (Camosun) Hill. – Dave Menis [1st Marathon Relay – Mixed]
