CVRR Nautical Days 4 Miler Foot Race

What better way to celebrate British Columbia’s birthday than to take part in a true BC legacy event! The 56th Annual Nautical Day’s 4 Mile Foot Race, the oldest continually held running race on Vancouver Island, is held annually on BC Day in downtown Comox. Old and young have charged through the streets of Comox since this great event started in 1971.This short 4-mile (6.4km) distance is geared toward the whole family, offering fun and challenge for all running levels. Leaving the start line in downtown Comox, the rolling streets offer stunning views of the Salish Sea and Beaufort Mountain Range. Butchers Road is a spectacular stretch with a mix of Douglas Fir, Pine and other native species on both sides to give the feeling you are running through forest. A prime downhill finish we all love in a race - that gentle, perfect grade that you can really open up if you wish to finish hard!AwardsOverall top male/femaleRibbons for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place based on age categories.Race InfoRegistration is online only.
