Vancouver Island Race Series

The Vancouver Island Race Series is a set of eight road races held on Vancouver Island. The series offers a season pass and individual race entries. Team competition is organised for clubs and corporate teams; a team is formed by gathering four others. The series lists team champions for multiple years: Speedfarm (Island Series Cup) and Harriers Running Club (VIRA Cup) for 2023–2025. Live results are posted automatically when a participant crosses the finish line.
