VIRA Frontrunners Island Race Series (2025)
The Bazan Bay course is one of the fastest 5K routes in Canada and perhaps North America. The course is nearly flat with an almost imperceptible incline for the first 2.5K. There is one turn, the 180-degree turnaround, then there is the mildest of downhill returns.

Times Colonist (2025)
Vancouver Island's Largest 10K
The TC10K began in 1990 under the name of "Garden City 10K". In 2001 the Times Colonist newspaper became our title sponsor, and thus the TC10K name was born. Wonderful local supporters of many events and charities, we are so thankful and appreciative of their ongoing support. The TC10K is a community event that brings runners, walkers, volunteers, schools, businesses, friends, families and more to enjoy the beautiful scenic route and post-event celebrations in downtown Victoria.
