From Burnaby on highway #1 heading west from the Second Narrows Bridge, take the Mount Seymour Parkway exit towards Deep Cove. You will pass by the Real Canadian Superstore. Pass Berkley Street at the top of the hill. The Ron Andrews Recreation Center will be on your right at the next stop sign.

From West Van on highway #1 heading east, pass the Lynn Valley exit, go down the long hill and take the exit after the orange bridge. Turn left at the lights, then stay in the right lane. Continue as above.

From downtown cross to the north shore via the bridge of your choice then as above.

What to Bring?

• Aid. (Whatever food, water or electrolyte drink you need for the distance you are running and whatever clothing you need for the weather.) If you expect and are prepared for no external aid, you may be pleasantly surprised... but do not count on it!
• Official timing system. (A watch will do, even if the second hand doesn't work.) Please be sure to keep track of your finish time and to give it to the timekeeper.
• Change of clothes. A bathing suit if you want to use the pool or hot tub at the rec center.
• Course directions.

Pre- and Post-Event

• free parking at the rec center.
• showers and rec center facilities are available at the start/finish. Entry for a shower is $ 2.00
• runners, volunteers, friends and family are encouraged to meet at 12:30 at the Mosquito Creek Grill for what we anticipate will be an absolutely awesome party. We'll recognize the great accomplishments of the run, share war stories, photos, gather stats and otherwise enjoy the afternoon.
