Meet 2026 series ambassador Travis Devonport

Originally from Nova Scotia, I  began running marathons in 2024 with my friend Brett Pfliger. What started as a hobby quickly became a passion, leading him to log thousands of kilometres across B.C., including the 2025 Island Race Series.

Motivated by the strength of the running community – where personal goals and peer support go hand in hand – I  co-founded Notorious Run Club in Victoria with Brett and Emiliano. Their vision was simple: create a space where running, community, and personal growth intersect.

As a VIRS ambassador, I am excited to bring a community-first mindset to the series while combining my love for creative video production and photography to capture lasting memories of runners giving it their all across Vancouver Island.
