BMO Vancouver Marathon
BMO Vancouver Marathon is a rolling marathon in Vancouver, Canada, held each May. One of the world's most scenic city marathons — rolling early miles, then the flat seawall around Stanley Park to finish. Early May is 8-15C, with rain never off the table. The rises around Vancouver are small but relentless — train on similar terrain and race by effort, not pace.
