Race day weather forecast

If you are heading downtown to watch or take part in the run, you may be in luck with the weather. Sunday’s forecast calls  for a mix of sun and cloud. However, there is also a slight chance (30 per cent) of showers so you might want to dress in layers. It will be cool in the morning, but the temperature is expected to rise to 13 C.

How to get to the Sun Run

Take transit. TransLink, including SkyTrain, SeaBus and certain bus routes, opens early on race day. Call 604-953-3333 or visit translink.ca for details.

All major TransLink bus services run Sunday morning. SeaBus will sail from Lonsdale Quay at 7:02 a.m. (an hour earlier than normal) and provide a 15-minute service through the morning and early afternoon. SkyTrain will start service on the Expo/Millennium Lines half an hour earlier than normal, with the first train leaving King George at 6:38 a.m., Lafarge Lake-Douglas at 6:26 a.m., and Waterfront at 7:20 a.m. SkyTrain will operate “rush hour” level service during the time before the start and into the afternoon, as crowds head home. Once again, Canada Line will launch at its usual time of 5:02 a.m. leaving Richmond-Brighouse to Waterfront Station, with extra service for incoming crowds starting at 7 a.m.

West Coast Express will be running one train on race day. It will depart Mission at 7 a.m.., arriving at Waterfront Station at 08:15 a.m. The train will then depart Waterfront at 1 p.m. and arrive in Mission at 2:15 p.m.

Coast Mountain Bus will have a number of reroutes in effect, taking the buses away from Georgia between Pender and Richards, the West End, Granville Street downtown, Burrard Bridge, Cambie Bridge and 2nd Avenue in Kitsilano. Buses that normally use Georgia will travel along Pender between Cardero and Richards. Full details on the reroutes may be found online at translink.ca/alerts.

West Vancouver Blue Bus will also operate the usual Sunday schedule, but add service between West Van and downtown before and after the run. West Van buses that normally use Georgia will travel along Pender between Cardero and Richards.

To avoid line ups, pre-pay your fare with fare cards or FareSavers. Those coming on SkyTrain can purchase two tickets at the station in the morning when they’re coming in and saving one of those tickets for the trip home. Please move down the aisle to make more room for your fellow SunRunners if the bus or train is crowded. Further information on service changes can be found online at translink.ca or by calling customer service at 604-953-3333.

Transit customers will have to pay only a single-zone fare of $3.10 for an Adult Fare, $2.05 for a Concession Fare and Kids under 12 are free to travel throughout the entire bus, SkyTrain and SeaBus network. Concession fares apply to youths aged 13 to 18 years old, seniors 65 and older with proof of age, and HandyCard holders riding conventional transit.

False Creek Ferries and Aquabus Ferries will also be running extra ferries on Sun Run morning, visit granvilleislandferries.bc.ca and theaquabus.com for schedules and fares.

If you must drive, you’re advised to arrive by 7 a.m. Street parking in the area of the run is very limited — and remember, there is a 30-minute to two-hour limit to metered parking. A number of streets, both at the start line and along the route, will be closed to traffic during the morning; see the Road Closures advisory on vancouversunrun.com for most up to date info. There’s some paid parking adjacent to B.C. Place, near the finish line. Seasoned Sun Runners park near the finish zone and jog back to the start zone.

Sun Runners who plan to cycle to the start line have the option to secure their bicycle with BEST (Better Environmentally Sound Transportation), The Bicycle Valet. Space to park 100 bikes will be available at B.C. Place’s Gate C.

How to watch from the sidelines

You don’t need to be a runner, a jogger, or a walker to have fun. Invite family and friends to watch the race from the sidelines, and join in the fun and festivities on the course and at the finish line. The party starts at B.C. Place at 9 a.m., just in time to entertain the Shaw Mini Sun Runners and the first of the elite runners crossing the finish line at about 9:30 a.m. There will be snacks, samples and entertainment for everyone.

At 11 a.m., presentations will be made to the top finishers and the top Canadians, both male and female, and to the winners of the masters and wheelchair divisions. As well, Oasis Youth Team Challenge winners will be recognized with their prize cheques.
