You can prearrange to pick up accreditation passes at 7:30 am on race day at the Hyatt Regency Vancouver, 2nd Floor at the media desk outside the Georgia A&B. COVERING ELITE ATHLETES Canadian runners will compete against international athletes for a total prize purse of $25,000. Wheelchair athletes compete for a $2,000 prize purse. Limited space is available for media in the lead vehicle, which precedes the elite runners on the route. Reporters or photographers who want to watch the race from the vehicle must call Randy Clegg at 604-209-0611 to reserve a seat. SOME ADVICE ON COVERING THE VANCOUVER SUN RUN Choose whether you want to cover the start or finish. Unless you’re in the lead vehicle, you are not guaranteed to catch the elite runners at both ends. A VIP shuttle bus can take you from the start line to arrive at the finish line about 9:25 am. Every attempt will be made to arrive before the first participant crosses the finish line. The bus leaves from Burrard St, north of Georgia, at approxi- mately 9:05 am. If you plan to cover the competitive wheelchair, race walk and Elite Women's race, please note that this race starts at 8:40 am and 8:50 am (before the main event). If you choose to cover the start of both events, you will not be at the finish zone in time to cover the first wheelchair athletes as they cross the finish line. There is no reserved parking, but paid parking is available near BC Place Stadium. Contact Randy Clegg in advance if you need access to specific runners or locations.
