Saturday and Sunday Route Overviews
Our trailmasters Burt Paynter and Heidi Schurr have been hard at work drafting the new routes for Saturday and Sunday. While routes are always subject to change, we have posted overview maps of each day. These maps are not meant for navigation. On the day of the event, a detailed map specific to your route distance will be given to you at the start table, and the route will be marked with arrows as well. These maps are simply to give you a general idea of the routes.
Saturday Walks: New routes for the 10K and 21K. The 5K route, which also serves as the Family Fun Walk, will enjoy a walk through the Vancouver Farmer’s Market and then down the Columbia River Renaissance Trail to the Princess Ilchee Statue and back. The 10K route will start with the 21K route and return over the Land Bridge to meet up with 5K route.
The 21K route will take walkers east on Evergreen and over the hill to the Burnt Bridge Creek Greenway. Then back over the hill and down to the river to finish for the last 8K along the Columbia River. Those doing 42K will repeat the 21K route, starting their second loop by 11 am to ensure they are able to complete it by 4 pm. If they complete the first 21K by 12 pm, they can start on the 10K route and complete 32K instead. This 32K option is available for anyone who can start the last 10K by 12 pm.

Sunday Walks: New routes for all distances. The 21K will be similar to the Saturday 21K from 2009, including the Burnt Bridge Creek Greenway from Stewart Glen Park to Devine Road and returning past Clark College. The 10K and 5K will explore the Hough, Carter Park and Lincoln neighborhoods and by the fun shops of Uptown Main Street.
