About the Vancouver Lake Half Marathon & 4 Mile Run
The course runs through Vancouver Lake park and out onto Reiger Road, following an out-and-back route that also swings down a bike path toward Frenchman's Bar before doubling back. The terrain is very flat the whole way, with a mix of road, gravel path, and paved bike path. Orange cones mark each mile, and the course is well signed throughout.
Packet pickup happens on race morning at the park, with an optional session the day before at the same location. Parking at the park costs a small fee, and the organizers strongly encourage carpooling given the limited spaces. There are port-a-potties at the start, the finish, and at the far turnaround. Home-baked cookies and other treats are out at the finish.

The Vancouver Lake Half Marathon & 4 Mile Run has been held every year since at least 2026. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 24, 2026.
