Races in Vancouver Island
Victoria and the towns around it hold most of the island's races; the rest are spread up-island through Duncan, Nanaimo, Qualicum Beach, Courtenay and Campbell River, with trail races in the forest above Cumberland and the occasional start out on the west coast at Ucluelet.
40 upcoming events across Campbell River, Oak Bay, Cumberland, Royal Bay, Victoria, Mill Bay, Comox Valley, Courtenay and more.
