Photo Essay - Jericho Park to Spanish Banks

Jericho Park to Spanish Banks Out and Back

A great 5k training route for walking or running.

Remember the opening line of the last route posted... Vancouver is defined by water - rivers, lakes, and of course the Pacific Ocean. Well, here's another great run along the ocean!

This fun route follows the beach the entire way beginning at Jericho Park on the west side of Vancouver. Enjoy beautiful views of the beach, the mountains, the boats, the birds, downtown Vancouver... did we mention the beach!?

The turn around point is where the path joins the road and starts to climb. Afterwards enjoy some time walking on the sand or bring a picnic lunch to munch on.

The route is flat the entire way. Flat and fast!

Total Distance by GPS = 5.26 k
Route – Flat
Parking is free.
