The next race on the schedule is the Westcoast Sooke 10K.

The event includes a 1K kid’s run with chocolate for every finisher. Entry is just $5. Runners must be U12, however, we will not being checking ID.

The club competition is getting exciting.

VIRA Cup standings, heating up

The VIRA Cup is turning into a race. The defending champion Ceevacs Road Runners, have made big ground over the recent two races. The Prairie Inn Harriers who lead, will need to be on full force to hold off the Ceevacs during the final two races coming up.

Big first place age-group wins by Ceevacs Jill Ramstead, Angela Maclean, Teresa Lewis-Schneider, Colleen Vanderheide, and second place finishes by Gary Vermette, Kelly Shellenberg and Diana Persson helped the powerhouse Ceevacs make good ground on the Harriers at the McLean Mill 10K.

However, Keith Mills second overall, first master, had a great race, David Hoskins with an age-group win and Mark Ritchie with a second place run in the 55-59 age-group was a good counter.

Both teams will be showing down at Sooke, for sure, because the grand finale, the Bazan Bay 5K will see all toe the line. It’s a two-horse race for first, but wait! There’s more.

There is a five-horse race for fifth place between the GCE South Island Runners who currently have 764 points and Speedfarm with 606. In between are the Badass Chicks Run Trails, Capital City Run Crew, and Salt Spring Sneakers.

Potential civil war to break out in the Comox Valley for third place. The battle isn’t over yet between the Comox Valley Road Runners and Run to Beer Comox Valley.

Get yer ya ya’s out — this is going to be fun to watch. All hands on deck for Sooke and Bazan.

Prairie Inn Harriers – 2272

Ceevacs Road Runners – 2102

Run to Beer Comox Valley – 1536

Comox Valley Road Runners – 1086

GCE South Island Runners – 764

Bastion Run Club – 727

Salt Spring Sneakers – 722

Badass Chicks Run Trails – 620

Speedfarm – 606

Esprit RC – 515
