The routes use the fully paved Stanley Park Seawall and include views of the city, the northern mountains, and the Lion's Gate Bridge. Stanley Park covers about 400 hectares and features west coast forest with cedar, hemlock, and fir trees.
Registration fees vary by distance and sales period; the listed price ranges are: 5K $53–$65, 10K $58–$70, Half Marathon $78–$100. Race kits are available only during posted package pick-up times and souvenir items are while supplies last.
