I was always wary about the Lululemon hype especially with the race entry being $130 (for 2016, I believe it has gone up since). But with customized shorts that come months early and a app to help you train and a huge social media presence, they get you excited before the half marathon starts!

The expo was amazing and lots of vendors, samples and things to check out. They also had classes and presentations and it was all very well organized!

The race day was also amazing as they had lots of staff to get you hyped out and lots of photo spots and SO many people come from all over to attend this race. The best thing about this race as it is Lululemon they emphasize on having FUN more so than racing.

The race was amazing they had so many entertainment stations and aid stations that were unique! They had spinning studios doing spinning classes on a bridge (see picture) or police officers with a speed radar saying you're going too fast! They even had people on jet packs in the water and a boat party happening as you run along the sea wall!

At the end of the race they had a great meal to offer as well as a complimentary 10-15 minute massage and foam rolling stations. After a few hours of rest you're then invited to a yoga session looking out at Vancouver followed by a concert from a few bands.

It is a pricey race but if you want a race that's organized well, gets you hyped up, and has a huge community as well this is the race to invest in!

Also the medal is top notch quality!
