Everyone brings and does their speed workout! We will offer a few sample workouts on our Instagram for those who are looking for inspiration. If you’re in the middle of a plan, or looking for a supportive environment to do a harder workout at, we’re all about it!
Share Your Run Group!
While race weekend is our biggest celebration, we also aim to support runners year-round by highlighting local run groups across Victoria and Vancouver Island. If you organize regular group runs and are preparing runners for RVM, we’d love to feature your group and help connect you with others training alongside you.
