UBC is a large and beautiful campus sitting on the end of the peninsula. One can stitch together a really nice run within the campus, or run in the adjacent gorgeous residential neighborhood, or the trails of Pacific Spirit Regional Park.
The West Point Grey neighborhood is suburban running heaven on the peninsula in Vancouver. The tree-lined streets feature a mix of architectural styles, from classic wood-frame Vancouver homes to more modern, spectacular residences.
