Course Map
Granville Island Turkey TrotRun & Give
This scenic and fast 10KM race starts at Granville Island and loops over the Burrard Bridge to the Seawall, before turning at Science World and heading back along the Seawall to the energetic Finish Line on Granville Island. The in-person race will include a measured and marked course, water stations on course, an official Start Line, Finish Line, timing and race results. For 2025, a loop through the parking lot on Granville Island is removed and you now run out and back on Creekside Drive instead of Penny Farthing. Due to the construction along the Seawall, the race also runs East of Science World. The finish returns nearer the boardwalk with it now re-open. Continue back to Performance Works for one medal per registered runner, post-race food and festivities.
