2021. One Year. Two Events.

With our constantly evolving world, we started off the year offering the Royal Flush Virtual Series, very unsure of whether we would be able to host an in-person event this October. And up until May, we were still unsure. 

With constant improvements in BC, we have decided to host a half marathon and 8K race on October 10, 2021 . We won’t be hosting the marathon distance, and it won’t be quite the big event of the past (we’ll save that for 2022!), but it will be an opportunity for us to enjoy the City of Victoria and our love of running in this community. The in-person event will be subject to Provincial Health Orders at the time of the race.

There are still two event options for this year. You can run/walk the Royal Flush virtual event or you can register for the RVM half marathon or 8K distances for an in-person event in October.

THIS EVENT IS VIRTUAL!The Royal Flush is made of 5 event distances that you can run or walk starting in May through September. Sign up for all 5, or a pair of events or a single event. Run one a month or run them all in one month or week, post your results on Runkeeper and be eligible for prizes. The 5 distances are 1 Mile 5k, 10k, Half Marathon and Marathon, plus a 1 mile and 5K KidSport distance for the kids.
