This was probably one of my favourite races of the year so far. The course was a decent length and full of natural beauty. Their website was very informative, the course was easily accessible by transit, and it started promptly. I thought there was enough support along the course and the course itself wasn't completely flat. There was a bit of an uphill stretch towards the end which really tested your reserve energy :P They hired Marathon Photos to cover the event and I got a lot of neat photos from it. After the race, there was a lot of food available (bagels, bananas, juice, power bars, yogurt, etc.) but it was also a big plus that the Stanley Park Pavilion Restaurant was there so we were able to grab more than just snacks. They also had a small expo in the Pavilion... not too many vendors and not too many that I was interested in. The medal they gave out was beautiful and my favourite so far. I love that you can order iTabs for it that's engraved with your name and finish time. Every race should have that. All in all, a great experience!
