A faster pace. The same standard.
The BMO Vancouver Half covers 21.1km through the streets, seawall, and parks of one of the most scenic race courses in North America. Downtown to Stanley Park, the seawall along English Bay, the final stretch back into the city — the same coastal views and city energy as the full marathon, condensed into a distance that rewards both speed and control.
This Artifact captures the complete official course in sculpted terrain and precision detail — your race rendered as a 3D piece you can see, hold, and keep on the wall.
About the course
The half marathon course is known for its flow and its scenery — and for the way a shorter distance exposes pacing decisions you might get away with over 42.2km. The seawall section through Stanley Park is one of the most photographed stretches of running road in Canada. The finish back downtown is fast.
Every Artifact for this race is built from the official course data. The route is fixed. What you customize is everything around it.
Choose your format
Artifact 8.5×11 — $89 Standard frame. Clean, minimal display of the official course.
Artifact 12×16 — $179 Standard frame with integrated medal holder. The course and the finisher medal as a single piece.
Artifact 13×30 — $239 Panoramic frame with medal and race bib mounted alongside the course. The full race-day artifact, end to end.
Artifact 20×20 — $269 Deepset square frame, built around the medal as the centrepiece. Thicker 15cm map for visual balance. The version that earns its space on the wall.

Why it matters
The half demands a different approach. Faster pacing. Less margin for error. Every kilometre matters.
It's the balance between holding back and pushing forward. The moment where the pace feels sustainable until it suddenly doesn't. The final stretch where you commit to the finish.
This piece exists so the effort doesn't live only in a finishing time.
How it works
- Order your Artifact in the size that fits the effort
- We send a design proof for your approval (with your name, time, and stats)

FAQ
Do I need to upload anything? No. The course is the official BMO Vancouver Half Marathon route — we already have it. Add your runner name, finish time, and any stats you want included at checkout, and we'll handle the rest.
Can I add a medal and bib? The 12×16 includes a medal mount. The 13×30 includes both a medal mount and a race-bib mount. The 20×20 features a deepset frame designed to recess and showcase the medal as the centrepiece.
Can I include a different distance from the same race weekend (e.g. 8K, full marathon)? Yes — we have separate event Artifacts for the BMO Vancouver Marathon distances. Browse all BMO Vancouver pieces →
How long until I receive it? Typically 2–3 weeks from design approval for the 8.5×11, 12×16, and 13×30. Allow 3–4 weeks for the 20×20 deepset format.
What if I want a fully custom piece instead of the official course? Custom pieces — including your training routes, multi-race compositions, and pieces with embedded NFC tags linking back to your Strava — are available in the Custom Artifact collection.
