With LESS than a MONTH to go until the big day...our last year's overall winner in the 24-hour, Mira Byron, is LEADING this year's FUNDRAISING for the Victoria Hospitals Foundation!! Her goal is to raise $1500 for the charity this year.
We can't wait to see who will challenge her event record from last year as well :)
There is still time to join us, donate, fundraise or register.

TODAY, we want to wish co-race director Ian Simpson a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! He brings a lot of humor and entertainment to the journey of race directing. He does a lot of heavy lifting on race day (literally!!)

Keep up the amazing work!!

At the start, everyone has their own goals.
By the end...
You're sharing snacks.
Celebrating milestones.
Cheering for people whose names you learned only hours ago.
That's the magic of endurance events.
You arrive as strangers.
You leave as a community.
❤️ Tag someone you'd love to share this experience with.

You know what makes this event special?
The loudest cheers aren't always for the leaders.
Sometimes they're for the runner doing one more lap after saying they were done.
Sometimes they're for the walker who has been out there for 12 hours.
Sometimes they're for the person who never thought they'd make it this far.
Here, effort gets the biggest applause.
👏 Tell us about someone whose determination inspires you.

Maybe you don't believe you can do 24 hours.
That's okay.
Borrow our belief until you find your own.
We believe in the first-time runner.
We believe in the walker taking on a new challenge.
We believe in the athlete chasing a personal best.
We believe in the person who's simply curious about what's possible.
Sometimes believing in yourself starts with someone else believing in you first.
❤️ If you've ever needed someone to believe in you, this event is for you.

Imagine standing on the track.
The clock starts.
24 hours stretch ahead.
No guarantees.
No shortcuts.
Just you, your determination, and the next lap.
That's where incredible stories begin.
🔥 Who's ready to write theirs?

A place for every athlete

The finish line isn't where the victory happens.
The victory happens in every moment you choose not to quit.
The finish line simply reveals what you've become along the way.
That's the spirit of the Dream Nation Apparel Vancouver Island 24 Hour.
✨ One lap at a time.
