Message from the Organizers

The Times Colonist 10k is a special event for Vancouver Island, with over 7,000 runners and walkers from Canada and the US joining to participate in exercise and fresh air in the glorious setting of downtown Victoria. Participants can choose to enhance their 10k experience by electing to raise money through pledges for The Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC and Yukon to help in the fight against heart disease and stroke.

The Times Colonist 10k is hosted by the Victoria International Running Society, a non-profit group that supports and organizes many of the Island's track and field athletes and events, including the upcoming Victoria International Track Classic and Miracle Mile to be held on May 22nd, 2002. PacificSport is also a hosting partner of this event, the first in The Times Colonist Three Waves sport series. This series also includes the Bastion Square Cycling Festival and the Gorge Swim Festival.

A special thank you must go to the Times Colonist for their generous support of this event for the past twelve years. Watch the Times Colonist for more race details, including results after the race!
