The 2011 Vancouver Sun Run is taking place this Sunday April 17th. Sadly most of The Buzz writers are far too out of shape to take part in the race, well except for may Amie. Event organizers expect close to 60,000 participants in what is billed as the largest road race in Canada and second largest in North America.
If you plan on driving around downtown you may want to check out the following road closures.
