Victoria – Royal Roads
This trail running event takes place April 10, 2027 at Royal Roads University, Colwood, Victoria, BC. The field at the campus entrance is the event staging area. The organizers acknowledge the traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of the Esquimalt and Songhees First Nations.
The courses use single track trails described as fast and flowy. The event offers multiple distances and specific support for each course:
- 11 km long course, about 300 m vertical gain, aid station at 7.5 km
- 6 km short course, about 100 m vertical gain
- 1 km kids race; registration fees for the kids race support the South Vancouver Island Nature Trails Society
There is one aid station on the long course providing water, Gatorade and small snacks. The event is cupless; participants are expected to bring their own drinking container or may purchase a cup at the event merch tent.
Parking is available in an adjacent dirt track lot and parking volunteers will assist; pay parking is in effect. Bib pickup requires a government issued photo ID and is done at the registration tent in the field; pickup times are staggered by race category. Course maps and route files are provided by the organizers. Post-race food and draw prize distribution are part of the finish area activities.
