Tens of thousands of people are expected to take part in the 33rd annual Vancouver Sun Run on Sunday, and several roads will be closed for much of the day to accommodate the race.
The 10 km race kicks off at 9 a.m. at Georgia and Burrard. The course heads west along Georgia Street toward Stanley Park, winds around the West End along Pacific Street and over the Burrard Bridge, cuts through Fairview and over the Cambie Bridge and finishes on Pacific Boulevard outside BC Place.
Road closures are planned around the downtown and Fairview area between 5 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., and drivers are warned to plan alternate routes or avoid the area.
