Sunday May 7th is the Vancouver Marathon, and both Josef and I are registered. As such, neither of us may be feeling much like joining or leading a run. If anyone else is interested in participating, https://bmovanmarathon.ca/ offers 8km and 21.1km races as well. If you just want a spot of morning exercise, I can suggest routes, but will probably not join you. For those concerned about how the marathon will affect getting around Vancouver, you can see the various course maps: https://bmovanmarathon.ca/marathon#course (8:30am-3pm) https://bmovanmarathon.ca/halfmarathon#course (7am-11am) https://bmovanmarathon.ca/8km#course (9:30am - 11am) Don't expect to walk around Stanley Park until the marathon is over. The Skytrain from the airport will be largely unaffected (possibly infested with sweaty runners). Bus routes may have diversions in place, but the roads will open once runners are no longer using that particular stretch, so eg Cambie & 49th will reopen to traffic quite early while Pacific & Georgia will remain closed for much of the day. If you want to come out & cheer for Josef and/or myself, let us know and we can suggest good spots.
