For a lot of runners, June marks the beginning of the build toward fall races.

Training blocks are starting, goals are being set, and race day is beginning to feel a little closer. But before the miles start adding up, this is also a good time to pause and reflect on what brought you here.

Maybe it’s a goal you’ve been thinking about for a while. Maybe it’s a comeback, a new challenge, or simply a reason to keep showing up.

As you start building toward what’s next, take a moment to appreciate everything that brought you to this point.

There’s something pretty special about running in a city that gives you views like this.

From the Inner Harbour to Dallas Road, Beacon Hill Park, and all the little stretches in between, running in Victoria becomes a chance to take in the city and experience racing along the Island’s coastline.

We’re grateful to the City of Victoria for being part of a race weekend that celebrates this place, the people who run it, and the community that makes it all come alive.

Running, craft beer, and making new friends 🍻

We joined Island Beers Run Club for another stop in our run crew series and got to see what makes this crew so unique. Each week, they meet at a different local pub before heading out for a few easy miles, giving runners a chance to explore the city, meet new people, and stick around after for a craft beer or beverage of choice.

Because sometimes the best part of a run is the community (and beer) waiting at the end of it 💙
