• Comments: I was rather disappointed with this race this year. Last year I loved it. The expo was huge; it was half the size this year. The on course support was amazing, but the crowds were very thin this year. The lack of water stations at miles 9 and 11 were inexcusible. The food stations were well set up after the race, although I sure missed those spiced bagels with pieces of candied fruit! I probably won't do Vancouver next year, but I'm sure I'll do at least the half one more time. I do love the Vancouver area, but this race is overpriced and this year it was underwhelming. Too bad! I hope it improves next year. Don't get me wrong, I still had a great time...but it was more a function of just letting go and enjoying the day than anything else.
