Harriers Thetis Lake Relay
The Harriers Running Club hosts the Harriers Thetis Lake Relay at the main beach in Thetis Lake Park, Victoria, BC, on Remembrance Day, Wednesday November 11, 2026. The format is a trail relay of four sequential laps of approximately 5 km each around Upper and Lower Thetis Lake, run clockwise.
Teams of four normally complete one lap each with a mass start for the first runner and an exchange zone on the main beach for tagging the next teammate. Teams with fewer members may continue by alternating laps. Two person dual teams receive a 25% discount and solo teams are half price. Categories include Junior (all under 20), Open, Master (40+), Veteran (50+), Super Veteran (60+), Dual, Solo, Family and Walk, with rules for women and mixed teams and age group determination by the youngest runner.
Registration is available online with an overall limit of 150 teams; regular online registration closes before race day and limited day-of registration is held at the beach. Check-in on race day confirms team details and provides a Team Timing Sheet.
There are no race bibs or chip timing; teams record cumulative split times from a race clock and submit timing sheets. Amenities include a wash/changeroom building, picnic tables, port-a-potties and an area for team tents. Refreshments in 2025 included hot dogs, soup, hot chocolate and snacks courtesy of a local sponsor. Awards include ribbons for the top three in each division, rosettes for winning teams and draw prizes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
