Royal Victoria Marathon
For 31 years the Marathon was known as the Royal Victoria Marathon until 2010 when GoodLife Fitness acquired the title rights. In 2021, the event once again became known as the Royal Victoria Marathon. Long known as the “royalty of marathons” around the world, the Royal Victoria Marathon is organized by runners for runners.
“The Victoria Marathon was one of the best races I’ve ever attended! There was a sense of community that you just don’t see or feel in other big races. In Victoria, the whole city seemed to embrace the event, and the race totally embraced the environment. The overwhelming spirit of human accomplishment is front and centre in Victoria”
Kathrine Switzer, Marathon Woman
