Victoria, BC – The Qʼs Victoria Track Series will have each race at all 8 meets, timed and sanctioned by BC Athletics, the governing body for the sport of athletics in British Columbia.

“Having BC Athletics Officiate the series will not only provide timing services to the participants, in addition any and all records broken will count.

Registration for the Gore-Tex Run3 is now open. The Run3 is a three day stage race which takes place at the same time and place as its bigger cousin, the TransRockies Run (GTTRR).

The competitors in RUN3 will run the first three stages of the GTTRR, starting in Buena Vista, Colorado and ending in Camp Hale, covering the first three stages of 21, 14 and 24 miles for a total distance of 59 miles. They will move through the high desert scenery near Buena Vista and through the highest landscape in North America reaching altitudes of more than 12,000 feet above sea level before finishing at historic Camp Hale.

As a new feature this year, RUN3 registrants have the the opportunity to upgrade to the full GTTRR experience should they find a compatible teammate before the event or find that training is going well enough to put six days within reach.
