The courses are fully paved and spend much of their length on the waterfront and in residential streets overlooking the strait, with open Pacific views. October weather here is mild by Canadian standards.
The race is a fixture of the western Canadian calendar, with four distances sharing the same weekend.
4 formats on the program.

At this distance, a build usually runs 12 to 20 weeks. The 2027 date is not published, so counting back from October puts the start around May 24, 2027.
These ranges are working conventions, not a research finding — no trial has compared plan lengths against each other. What matters more is that the plan was built for the weeks you actually have, rather than shrunk down from a longer one.
