The course highlights the best that the Vancouver community has to offer, including historic sites, a National Park and the mightly Columbia River - it is truly a gem. The event weekend includes a 3-day VUM Expo held in the center of it all, Esther Short Park. All festivities will commence in this beautiful 5-acre park located in the heart of downtown Vancouver.
