This Boston qualifier traces the edge of Vancouver Island where the Olympic Mountains rise across the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and harbor seals surface in the kelp beds below.

From the historic Inner Harbor start, the course meanders through British Columbia’s garden city, past Victorian mansions and rocky headlands where waves crash against ancient basalt.

For 45 years, this race has drawn runners to its gentle climbs and ocean-cooled miles, offering options from family-friendly 5Ks at Willows Beach to the full 42.2K journey through Oak Bay’s quiet streets.
