Community events continue to emerge from out of the shadow of the pandemic, with the Times Colonist 10K a leading example
It was a decade in which Island athletes competed for Canada in the Summer Olympics in Barcelona and, of all places, Atlanta while Victoria hosted the Commonwealth Games. Braveheart, Good Will Hunting and Shawshank Redemption were on movie screens, Coolio was singing about a Gangsta’s Paradise while guests at wedding receptions were doing the Macarena.
This year’s race is expected to attract about 9,000 participants, from duffers to Olympians, along a picturesque course from Government to Wharf to Yates to Cook to Richardson to Moss to May to Memorial to Dallas Road to Erie and back down Belleville to the start-finish line. Road runs — the TC10K in the spring and Royal Victoria Marathon in the fall are the two major Island bookends — have become integral parts of civic vibrancy in cities around the world with the kind of healthy, Spandex-clad demographic any city would want pounding the pavement in its downtown core.
Kelsall is also president and general manager of the Island Race Series, in which 6,000 registered for the eight races this spring .
