  • In addition, the route will be marked with arrows and ribbons.

 
2010:  The Saturday and Sunday routes have been changed.

Friday Mayor's Walk: will include the new Vancouver Land Bridge, which connects the Columbia River to the Historic Reserve and celebrates the land, the river, and the people.

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.

Saturday Overview Map: this map is only an overview and not intended for navigation.  You will receive a detailed map and directions at the start table when you start your walk. Routes are subject to change.

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.

Sunday Overview Map: this map is only an overview and not intended for navigation.  You will receive a detailed map and directions at the start table when you start your walk.  Routes are subject to change.

Bikes: We have added a 15K route  and will also have a 10K family route available for those who need an even shorter route.
