Inclusivity and Charitable Giving Through Running-Vancouver America Marathon
In a nod to that inclusion, the Vancouver America Marathon & Half has created beautiful, USATF certified (and in the case of the Marathon, Boston Marathon qualifier) race courses with generous cut-off times. The Marathon course takes runners near the banks of the Columbia River, through the streets of the Vancouver and historic Ft. Vancouver National Park, and on to nearly 4 miles along the stunning Columbia River waterfront paths. The Marathon course is open until 2pm, allowing runners 7 hours to complete the race with full medical, volunteer, flagger, and police support. After 7 hours, runners will be instructed to follow the normal rules of the road as the streets will be open to the public.

The Downside of Fitness Trackers
Runners are a competitive group, oftentimes competing against ourselves. If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to focus on health and fitness in order to chase new PRs, don’t let your fitness tracker control your life. Use wearable technologies as a way to monitor your progress and not a way to define who you are!
