Westcoast Sooke 10K 2026

The Westcoast Sooke 10K takes place on March 8, 2026 in Sooke, British Columbia. It is organised as part of the Vancouver Island Race Series (Island Series) and appears on the series calendar alongside other Vancouver Island road races; the series maintains archived results stretching back to 1983.

The event day includes a 10K main race and a 1K Kid’s Super Day for ages 0–12. Race-day timing in 2026 lists the kids race at 10:45 a.m. with the main 10K starting at 11:00 a.m. Entrants may register as single-race participants or as part of the season-pass package that covers the Island Series schedule.

What sets Sooke apart is its place in the island-wide series and the family-friendly Kid’s Super Day that runs immediately before the main race. The series emphasises community participation — races welcome runners, racewalkers, walkers and wheelchair athletes — and attracts island clubs and neighbourhood crews. Frontrunners Footwear is listed as a premier sponsor of the series, and series-branded merchandise (including a limited-quantity trucker hat) is offered through the registration channels.

Registration details for the 2026 season launched at the Royal Victoria Marathon Expo in October; the series notes a strict no-refund, no-transfer policy for entries. Interested runners can sign up either for the single Westcoast Sooke 10K entry or through the Vancouver Island Race Series season pass during the published registration windows.
