How are you getting to the starting line on Sunday?

Whether you are planning to run or cheer on the sidelines, make sure you TravelSmart to the race!

The race begins is in Queen Elizabeth Park and you can get there via the Canada Line Oakridge/41st Station.

Here are some helpful hints for race day:

Canada Line

The first train from Waterfront Station is at 4:48 a.m. and from Richmond Brighouse at 5:02 a.m., and extra trains will be in service until 8:00 a.m.

Portable fare boxes will be set up at Waterfront, Vancouver City-Centre and Yaletown-Roundhouse Canada Line stations.

Bus

CMBC will provide regular Sunday service and will modify several bus routes at certain times during the day to accommodate the marathon.

Shuttle Bus

Runners who pre-booked a seat on special shuttles to the start line can check departure details on the BMO Vancouver Marathon website.

The early-morning shuttle service leaves from Lougheed Town Centre, Scott Road Station, Lonsdale Quay, Brentwood Mall and Patterson Station.

Cyclists

TransLink’s TravelSmart is sponsoring BEST’s Bicycle Valet, which will offer secure temporary bike storage for up to 120 bikes, free of charge.

The valet will be open from 6 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Bute Street, between Hastings and Cordova so you can park your bike downtown and take the Canada Line to the race.

Good to Know

SkyTrain’s Expo and Millennium Lines, West Vancouver Blue Bus and SeaBus will operate their regular Sunday service. There is no Sunday service on the West Coast Express.
