The Giro di Burnaby course is a 1.85 km loop featuring 800 meters of a fast, downhill straight away past the front door of Burnaby’s world famous Anton’s Pasta Bar. A left turn and one block loop at the end of the straight away will see the riders navigate three corners before once again coming onto Hastings Street and the slight uphill sprint to the next dog ear loop. A right turn onto Gilmore Avenue, a left onto Albert Street and another left onto McDonald Avenue will see the riders once again back at the straight away!
