It proceeds along Bellevue Avenue, Marine Drive, through Park Royal, Ambleside Park, and Argyle Avenue, before concluding on the West Van Seawall. The autumn event spans two days, featuring a Kids Run on each day. The race also benefits Special Olympics BC - North Shore, providing a local charity connection beyond the immediate race area.
