The Royal Victoria Marathon offers a beautiful oceanside course winding through the quiet streets of Victoria and Oak Bay with stunning ocean views. The marathon, half marathon, and 8K start and finish in the Inner Harbour, while the 5K and Kids Run start and finish at Willows Beach Park. It is a Boston qualifier and World Athletics sanctioned event.

Why attend here

October on Vancouver Island means crisp coastal air and golden light over the Inner Harbour, perfect for a post-race stroll past the Parliament Buildings or a ferry hop to Butchart Gardens' autumn colours. Reward those 42k legs with fresh spot prawns or a warm bowl of chowder at a harbourfront spot, then soak in the mountain-framed sunset—fall here is serene, scenic, and deliciously unhurried.
