Four laps, one mile, and a fun night at the track!

As part of RunSport’s summer training programs, runners had the chance to take on a mile time trial at the RunSport Dream Mile at PISE, so we joined in and put our speed to the test.

Time trials are worth showing up for, even when you don’t feel completely ready. They give you the chance to practice the feeling of racing, learn how to push when it gets uncomfortable, and see where your training is at without putting too much pressure on the result.

We had a great time getting out on the track and reminding ourselves that sometimes the best way to feel more prepared to race is simply to practise racing.

Thanks to RunSport for having us out!

Looking for a fun family activity this fall?

The Thrifty Foods Kids Run is an exciting event where young runners get their own chance to experience the energy of RVM, from a dynamic warm-up and their very own start line to snacks, a finisher’s medal and plenty of celebrating at the finish.

Bring the whole family to Willows Beach Park on Saturday, October 10, and cheer on your kids as they take on the 1K course. Parents are welcome to run alongside their children at no additional cost, so everyone can be part of the fun.

Summer training calls for some of our favourite essentials ☀️

When the days get warmer, the sun gets stronger, and the long runs start to feel a little sweatier, it’s the little things that make warm-weather training feel a whole lot better.

For all the focus placed on pace and personal bests, we want to remind you that race day doesn’t always have to be defined by goals.

Sometimes the goal is to enjoy the atmosphere, appreciate the views in Victoria, share the miles with a friend, or cross the finish line feeling proud of the experience.

Success looks different for everyone, and it’s important to remind yourself that there’s no requirement to chase a personal best every time you line up for a race 🙌

Three months to go until RVM 2026.

For some, training is underway. For others, the build is just beginning. Wherever you are in the process, we're already looking forward to seeing all the hard work you’ve put in come to life.

Strength, mobility, and injury prevention all play a huge role in how runners train, recover, and stay consistent.

Join us on Monday, July 13 at 7:00 PM for our next RVM Speaker Series session with Christian Prufer, Strength & Conditioning Coach at Canadian Sport Institute Pacific. Christian has worked with numerous Olympians and Paralympians, helping athletes build the strength, resilience, and physical capacity needed to meet the demands of training and competition.

This session will focus on practical strategies runners can use to support their bodies through training and reduce injury risk along the way.

This is what we’re counting down to.

There’s something special about seeing a course come to life, and this view has us even more excited for October, when we get to welcome thousands of you back to the start line and watch race weekend unfold all over again.

Your mindset on race day is just as important as your effort.
 
A little belief can carry you through the nervous moments, the challenging moments, and the unforgettable ones. Think about the encouragement you’d give another runner, give the same advice to yourself 💙
