The Comox Valley RV Half Marathon offers one of the fastest courses in Western Canada with many PBs set here.

The course is a beautiful rural, out-and-back event with views of Mount Washington, Forbidden Plateau, and the Tsolum and Puntledge Rivers. The race is known for its tasty post-race food and lots of great draw prizes.

The half-marathon has a history dating back to at least 1986 when it was a 20-kilometre race. Some legendary names won it back then including five-time Royal Victoria Marathon winner Kelvin Broad and 1980 Olympian Mike Creery.

In 1995, the Comox Valley Road Runners (CVRR) extended the course to be a 21.1K half-marathon. It’s fast and with the right tactics, personal bests and qualification standards can be set there.

About the Comox Valley

The Comox Valley region includes the city of Courtenay, the town of Comox, the village of Cumberland, as well as Royston, Union Bay, Fanny Bay, Black Creek, and Merville.

Where else may you cross-country or downhill ski, kayak, mountain bike, and race a half-marathon all on the same day (not necessarily in that order).

The Valley is known as “The Valley of Festivals”.

Make sure the Comox Valley is on your itinerary list of places to visit in British Columbia.
