When registering for the Vancouver Island Race Series season pass you do not have to belong to a team or club, however:

If you do not belong to a club, either join one or, if you would rather not, when registering, choose “unattached” as your team. This one extra step is there to remind people who are in a club to indicate so. The team or club competitions are fun, and coaches and club admins want to make sure everyone is earning points for their team.

Please remember these are road running races and are open to runners, racewalkers, walkers, and wheelchair athletes only:

  • No roller blades/inline skates
  • No baby strollers
  • No cycling or other forms of transportation are permitted except for designated official cyclists
  • We strongly recommend that you do not race with headphones of any sort. If you impede a participant, emergency response vehicle, or race officials and are wearing headphones at the time, you are subject to disqualification.
