lululemon’s SeaWheeze Half Marathon and Sunset Festival has fast become one of the most popular half marathon experiences in the world and one of the best weekends to visit Vancouver.
The SeaWheeze race route winds along Vancouver’s picturesque waterfront, including Stanley Park and the seawall and through the beachside community of Kitsilano, where lululemon was founded and where its global headquarters and very first store are still located. 10,000 runners pass an array of energetic cheer stations, like mermaids to full spin classes, that help get them across the finish line.
Following the half marathon is the official after-party for runners, their friends and family and the community of Vancouver: Sunset Festival. Held in Stanley Park with its stunning views of Coal Harbour and the city skyline, Sunset Festival offers yoga, a live musical performance by Young the Giant and Cold War Kids as well as local gourmet food and beverage.
