Route Maps

The New Balance Fall Classic route changes slightly every year due to construction issues at the ever expanding UBC. The start is planned to be on East Mall and the finish will still be in the plaza of the Student Union Building (SUB) which is adjacent to the Student Recreation Centre (SRC). This means that when you come out of the SRC after picking up your Bib & Chip, you will find yourself near the start line, and when you finish, you will once again be close to the SRC. All of the courses will be certified to be accurate. The 5k and 10k routes will be single loops, while the NBFC Half Marathon continues to be the most popular double loop half marathon in BC with two loops (first one is 11.1km and the second one is the standard 10k route). We do this to keep the course as flat as possible.

Transit

Bus #17 arrives at UBC Bus Loop as early as 6:17am, then every 10-20 minutes. Check http://tripplanning.translink.bc.ca/  for more details. Once you arrive at the UBC Loop, head north (go between the War Memorial Gym and the swimming pool along the pathway and you’re almost there) to the Student Recreation Centre to check-in and get your stuff.
