Vancouver Lake Half Marathon is Full The Vancouver Lake Half Marathon will be on January 24th. The course will be the same as last year. The course was safer and easier to manage. There will be one change. There is no early start this year. This is because we had a lot of congestion with the early starters and runners. More of the course is on a trail so there is not as much room. This will avoid the runners from coming up from behind on large groups of walkers. The course is not certified yet but we did measure it with a Jones Counter which is required for course certification
It took one week to fill for Vancouver Lake. There will be no day of race registrations. We accepted 50 more entries this year and we are hoping everyone does a good job carpooling.
