Race Information
The Victoria Marathon is the largest event of its kind on Vancouver Island and is a "must run" event for any keen marathoner. The race happens annually on Thanksgiving weekend and features three distance options; an 8k, a half marathon, and the crown jewel of the event, the marathon distance.
In addition to local runners, this run regularly attracts a large field of out-of-city/province runners along with a top field of elites from around the world. The marathon, which features a spectacular route, is usually a certified Boston marathon qualifier.
There are registrant caps on both the marathon and half marathon events and they have sold out in the past. It's recommended to register early to make sure that you secure a spot in this race.
