We’re back in 2026 at Royal Roads University in Victoria, BC with the best way to open the season. Fast, flowy and beautiful single track that is sure to impress even the seasoned trail runners. New to trail running? You’ll love this race as it’s great for all abilities! See you at the finish line for some post-race food and draw prizes!
