SeaWheeze Half Marathon in Vancouver

PreWheeze is the pre-race expo experience with package pick-up, the Showcase Store, yoga, community activations, and race weekend programming across the Vancouver Convention Centre and Jack Poole Plaza on Thursday, August 6 and Friday, August 7.

On Saturday, August 8 the Half Marathon festivities begin with a pre-race stretch on Jack Poole Plaza at 6:00am. Racers will then need to be in their assigned corral at least 30 minutes before their scheduled start, from Hornby and Hastings at 7:00am. The finish line is along Pender just after Bute.

The Vancouver Convention Centre will host the post-race recovery zone from 8:30am to 12:30pm, and shuttles will start leaving for the festival around 3:30pm.
