Race Information

The Times Colonist 10K began in 1990 as the β€œGarden City 10K”. In 2000, the newspaper became the title sponsor, and thus the TC10K name was born. The race is Victoria's largest and most popular run of the year. The run regularly attracts a field of over 10,000 runners from across the country and sees top elites compete alongside amateur runners.

This community event brings runners, walkers, volunteers, schools, businesses, friends, families, and more to enjoy the beautiful scenic route and post-event celebrations in downtown Victoria. If you are into big runs, this is a must-do! The TC10k course has long sections along the oceanfront road, providing spectacular views to runners.

The Royal Victoria Marathon set registration records in 2025, 45 years after its first race in 1980. With 2026 registration numbers already trending high, the event expects to sell out early as it did in 2025.
