Extra bus, SkyTrain, and SeaBus trips this Sunday

VANCOUVER, BC – TransLink is adding extra bus, SkyTrain, and SeaBus service to help participants, volunteers, and supporters get to and from the BMO Vancouver Marathon on Sunday, May 3.

The annual event is one of Canada’s premier road races, drawing thousands of runners from across the region and around the world. Race day includes the full marathon, a half marathon, 8 km, and a kids run, bringing a rush of activity to neighbourhoods across the city. Big crowds are expected on the sidelines across the multiple events, cheering on friends and family as they participate in their respective races.

The full marathon begins at Queen Elizabeth Park. The 42.2-km route winds through some of Vancouver’s most iconic communities, including South Vancouver, Dunbar, UBC, Kitsilano, and along the scenic seawall near English Bay, before completing a final loop around Stanley Park, and finishing near the Vancouver Convention Centre.
