Start your racing year where the Pacific meets the city. Vancouver’s First Half sells out for good reason: this intimate race caps at 2,500 runners and delivers winter running at its finest.
The out-and-back course hugs the coastline where herons fish in the morning mist and snow-dusted mountains pierce through the dawn light.
Since 1988, this race has been the traditional stepping stone to spring marathon glory, now featuring unique Indigenous medal designs by Musqueam artist Darryl Blyth that connect runners to the rich cultural heritage of these lands.
