Vancouver

Vancouver's running scene thrives on mountain access and temperate wet winters—the BMO Vancouver Marathon course loops through downtown and False Creek, while trail runners hit the North Shore peaks like Cypress Mountain within 20 minutes. Cyclists dominate the city's flat False Creek seawall and venture into the North Shore mountains (Grouse, Seymour, Cypress) for steep sustained climbs reaching 1000m elevation, or take the Rotary Ride for Hearing route through the Whistler Corridor north. The wet Pacific climate means year-round training but muddy trails from October through April.
