The Start is located at the main entrance of the Hamburg Congress Center.

Reeperbahn – the athletes will then run along Hamburg’s sinful mile towards Altona.

Elbchaussee: Following the western turning point in Othmarschen, the noble lbchaussee leads the runners back towards the Harbour, the Gateway to the World. Along the patriarchal St. Pauli landing stage, the modern Harbour City with the Elbe Philharmonic Hall comes into sight.

After traversing the Wallring tunnel, the athletes are sent along the ungfernstieg on the Inner Alster through the heart of the Hanseatic city. Along the exclusive east bank of the Outer Alster the athletes move towards the Stadtpark – Hamburg´s green lung – which is located right next to the architectonically interesting North City.

The last third of the course leads the athletes through Alsterdorf towards the northern turning point in Ohlsdorf.

The route moves on to the “Witches Cauldron” Eppendorfer Baum: traditionally the athletes are cheered on by tens of thousands of frenetic spectators at this location.

After a short visit to the west bank of the Alster the runners will reach the famous district Rotherbaum Made it! Finish at the Television Tower in front of Hamburg Congress Center.

The course is designed for speed. The start is on Redland Rd just east of the intersection with Sommerville Drive near the Shady Grove Metro Station. About 1/4 mile after the start runners make a left turn on to MD Rt. 355 (Rockville Pike). From there it’s a straight shot down (190 ft. elevation drop, with some uphill sections) to the finish in front of White Flint Mall. Water will be available at the start, 2 stations on the course, and the finish. Split times will be called or displayed at each mile. The course is USATF Certified.

The Vancouver Sun Run is Canada’s largest 10K road race. The 10K route is a beautiful scenic course which begins in Vancouver's downtown core at Burrard Street and Georgia Street. Participants will enjoy the downhill start as they make their way towards the world famous Stanley Park, continuing along English Bay to Hornby Street, then onto Pacific Avenue, across the Burrard Street bridge exiting onto 2nd Avenue. Winding along Fir Street to join 4th Avenue the route continues east on 6th Avenue to the Cambie Street Bridge for the final stretch across the bridge to the finish line. Your Vancouver Sun Run experience does not end just outside our host venue, BC Place Stadium; you are encouraged to enter the stadium to enjoy the wrap party along with your family and friends.

The 10K route is sprinkled with gentle, undulating hills making it both fun and enjoyable, while providing breathtaking scenery which includes the snow-capped mountains along Georgia Straight, water views along English Bay and False Creek. The course truly showcases all the beauty of this wonderful city. As typical of other road races, the roads used are completely closed to vehicular traffic and streams of observers watch and cheer from the along the sidewalks. Water stations are provided at numerous locations along the course as well as music entertainment in the form of bands.

Due to the large number of participants in this event, the Vancouver Sun Run has a “Wave Start” to begin the event. This type of start is used to stagger the start in order to maintain control of the crowd and ensure the course does not become too crowded.
