Scene set for return of full Royal Victoria Marathon today

7,934 people have registered to run in 2022 Royal Victoria Marathon events: the marathon, half-marathon, 8k and kids race.

There has been no blueprint, since the Second World War, for the mass restart of sports and entertainment from an almost wholesale stop. Sport is now back in full swing with the first full Royal Victoria Marathon, not run since pre-pandemic in 2019, returning today to the streets of the B.C. capital. The 2020 event was cancelled and only the half marathon and 8K were conducted in 2021.

“The amount of work that goes into this race is outstanding and brings so much to Victoria,” said acting mayor Stephen Andrew, during the pre-race media conference. “It’s been a tough few years for people and this gives [participants] a goal to strive for,” said Oak Bay Mayor Kevin Murdoch.Marathon running has returned with a bang post-pandemic. Islander and Olympian Cam Levins of Black Creek smashed his own Canadian record in placing fourth in the 2022 world track and field championships in 2:07:09 over the summer in Eugene, Oregon.

“From what I experienced in Berlin, I thought we do the Expo, water stations and pacers better in Victoria,” said Foweraker.
