Times Colonist 10K on Sunday, race starts at 8 a.m. in downtown Victoria. Dayna Pidhoresky and Jen Millar are top contenders in women’s field. Top-ranked male racer is Matthew Travaglini.
Dayna Pidhoresky believes she has something to prove on Sunday when she steps to the start line as the top-ranked female racer in the 34th Times Colonist 10K and looking for her third career victory in the event.
“There’s a sense of unfinished business and motivation to make it to another Olympic Games. It’s made me hungry for the future. So in a way, maybe it was a good thing, because I may have hung up my shoes if I had had a successful Olympics.” “The scenery is beautiful and I’ve had some good races in the past in Victoria and will try to channel that. The target is making the Olympic standard in the marathon by next spring.”
Past winners of the Times Colonist 10K have included, from the Island, Olympic track-medallist Angela Chalmers, three-time Olympian Debbie Scott and two-time Olympic marathoner Bruce Deacon. The women’s champion in 2017 and 2018 was Pidhoresky with Malindi Elmore of Kelowna second in 2019. Elmore placed ninth in the marathon at the Tokyo Olympics.
