McLean Mill 10K 2026

The McLean Mill 10K is scheduled for March 29, 2026 in Port Alberni, BC. It appears as a long-standing stop on the Vancouver Island Race Series calendar and is organised as part of that series by the Island Series team and local race partners.

​

This event is a single 10K road race that starts at 11:00 am on race day. It is offered both as a standalone single-race entry and as one of the counted races for season-pass holders in the Vancouver Island Race Series.

​

What sets McLean Mill apart is its place in the island-wide series: runners use this race to score series points and compete for season awards, and the event draws a mix of series regulars and local Port Alberni participants. Series-branded merchandise (including a vented trucker hat) is offered through the series, and the organisers publish clear event rules reflecting that these are road races open to runners, racewalkers, walkers and wheelchair athletes.

​

Registration for series entries and single-race entries is handled through the Vancouver Island Race Series channels; single-race entries and season passes are available, with a registration window listed from November 12, 2025 to February 28, 2026.
