Walk in Vancouver - Downtown - West End

Choose among 5, 6, and 11 km routes.

Our walks are restricted to club members who have paid $15 for a 12-month membership. However, if you would like to try one or two walks before committing yourself to a paid membership, you do have that option. Please send an email to [vancouverventurers@gmail.com](mailto:vancouverventurers@gmail.com) stating that you would like more information. In the subject line of your email, write MEETUP.

Please note: Although the number of attendees indicated on this page may appear low, be assured that you will be walking with many club members who have not RSVP’d. We rarely have fewer than 15 participants at any of our walks.

Route Description:
This walk is made up of two loops. We will start with the 5K Western Loop which takes us to the Olympic Cauldron (2010 Winter Olympics) in Jack Poole Plaza, up onto the “green roof”, then along the Coal Harbour Seaside Greenway (Seawall), all the way to Westin Bayshore Hotel. Then through some nice heritage-home neighbourhoods in the West End. The 6K Eastern Loop goes through Downtown Vancouver, around Canada Place Building along “The Canadian Trail”, Gastown & part of Chinatown, including the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Park. We will return along West Georgia, the hub of downtown shopping and transportation.

Walkers will register (sign in) at the start point between 9:30 am and 9:55 am. The walk will start at 10:00 am sharp. Please be on time; we do not wait for latecomers.

Immediately following the walk, you may wish to join some of your fellow club members at the nearby lunch venue.

NOTE: Once you have RSVP’d, our Meetup site will always show your status as “Unpaid”. This is not a cause for concern. The $1.00 participation fee for the walk is paid at the start point and to save us some work, we will not be recording on Meetup that you have paid it.

If you have any questions, please post them here on Meetup or send an email to [vancouverventurers@gmail.com](mailto:vancouverventurers@gmail.com).
