Start and Finish Instructions

Start: The course starts at the Capilano Park road near the Salmon Hatchery. For those who have done the summer VK series it starts at the same spot as VK Van Damme. The trail is signposted as Palisades Trail. Follow the stairs up to Nancy Greene Avenue, then ascend all the way up Nancy Greene to the base of the Grouse Mountain resort, then connect across to the BCMC trail via the Baden Powell trail and take the BCMC the rest of the way.

Finish: The course finishes at the top of the BCMC trail as it finishes at the Grouse Mountain chalet.

Description

Starting at the top of the BCMC, competitors will descend the BCMC to the Baden-Powell/BCMC intersection signpost before following the Baden-Powell to exit into the Grouse Mountain base parking lots. Then take Nancy Green down to capilano park - cross the grassy field to take the staircase down to the Palisades trail where it will exit at the Hatchery parking area. This is the finish line.
