Greg’s Riverrun 23k route ventures down to the southeast corner of Vancouver to the City’s newest neighbourhood development, the River District. Starting from the Cambie Running Room at 7th and Cambie, the route steps down past Hillcrest, Queen Elizabeth and Memorial South parks to the bike and pedestrian path along the North Arm of the Fraser River that leads through Gladstone Park and Riverfront Park to the River District.
Head back north again by climbing straight up Kerr or take the first of two optional 3-kilometre detours along the riverfront path to the foot of Boundary and back along East Kent through the heart of the new neighbourhood to stretch the run to 26k and get a first-hand look at the progress of the new neighbourhood.
