Hi.  I'll be in Vancouver for a few days, staying at the Fairmont.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to (approx.) 5k running routes in that area?  Any advice/suggestions appreciated.  Thanks!

Sunset beach
Sea wall (since you're only doing short distance, run on the side that has the Sun).
Trails in Stanley Park (grooming is very good, hardly any roots / rocks)
Capilano Pacific Trail (North Vancouver) <-- my favorite run (elevation gain 200m?) (more rooted, not for clumsy people)

BCMC/Grouse Grind (if you're into hiking, although comparative distance is more like a 10 k run). $5 bucks at the top you can get a gondola ticket down, so you don't have to kill your knees.
