About the Royal Victoria Marathon
Royal Victoria Marathon is a British Columbia destination race that pairs a full marathon with a polished city weekend. It suits runners who want scenery and a manageable field.
Course
The marathon uses Victoria-area roads and coastal-city scenery rather than a giant downtown-only loop. Wind and small rollers can shape the day.
Race-day weather
October in Victoria is usually cool but can be damp or windy. Runners should prepare for coastal changeability more than heat.
