Five distances to choose from: Royal Victoria Marathon (42.2K), Outway Half Marathon (21.1K), Westland Insurance 8K, Island Savings 5K, and the Thrifty Foods Kids Run.
😄 Why We Like This Run:
✅ Set along stunning oceanfront routes
✅ Iconic start & finish in front of the Parliament Buildings
✅ Strong community vibe — running it's 46th year
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.
