This seaside marathon is held each October and runs much of the way through the scenic streets of Oak Bay. Thousands of spectators and supporters come out to cheer the runners in their test of endurance.
The Victoria Marathon acts as the BC Marathon Championships and is also a certified (and fast!) Boston Marathon qualifying race. For those interested in running, volunteering, or watching, visit the Victoria Marathon Website.
This approved community event is listed for community awareness and takes place within the District of Oak Bay, but is organized by an independent group and not run by the District.
