The lingering effects of the pandemic have severely limited the number of participants from running hotbed nations such as Kenya and Ethiopia, who have dominated the front of the men’s pack in many previous editions of the Times Colonist 10K.
__________
The race begins at 8 a.m. in the Legislature precinct and heads north on Government to Wharf to east on Yates to south on Cook to east on Richardson and then south on Moss, east on May, south on Memorial, west on Dallas Road to Erie to Belleville before finishing back in front of the Legislature.
CHEK-TV will broadcast the race live from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m.

There has been no blueprint, since the Second World War, for the mass restart of sports and entertainment from an almost wholesale stop. Sport is now back in full swing with the first full Royal Victoria Marathon, not run since pre-pandemic in 2019, returning today to the streets of the B.C. capital. The 2020 event was cancelled and only the half marathon and 8K were conducted in 2021.
“It was a huge challenge. There was no road map to restarting because we’ve never had to before,” said general manager and race-director Cathy Noel.
The demand has been pent up and is ready to burst with participation up five percent from 2019. A total of 7,934 people have registered to run. That includes 1,561 for the marathon, 3,439 for the half-marathon, 2,354 for the 8K and 580 for the kids run.
“We’re not looking back to 2019. We’re looking to the future,” said Noel.

Teferi Kebede Balcha, an immigrant from Ethiopia, is getting used to the streets of his adopted hometown. The 41-year-old again shunted aside age to win the 2022 Royal Victoria Marathon on Sunday in two hours, 25 minutes, 26 seconds to follow up his victory in the Times Colonist 10K last spring.
With a heady personal best time of 2:07:38 in his prime, he has been around with career victories from Israel to Shanghai. Balcha is coached in the Prairie Inn Harriers Club by two-time Olympic marathoner Bruce Deacon, who has brought to the surface untapped reserves as Balcha enters his masters running days.

“He is a champion and works very hard,” said Deacon.
Balcha led all the way and won by a wide margin.
“It was very nice out there today,” said the full-time janitor, who trains after work.
“I was happy and surprised. Marathon running is already hard enough, and you need lots of stamina, so I loved getting the support of people cheering along the route.”

Actually it was down 7% but nobody ever fact checks anything so you can say whatever you want these days.
More than 8,500 people were at the 40th GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon, early Sunday morning in downtown Victoria

It costs over $150 to enter the marathon.
And no prize money this year.

Two-time Olympian Natasha Wodak, the Canadian women’s marathon record holder, went on to bigger things but she never forgot where it all started. That’s why she never misses a Pioneer 8K race hosted by her home-club Prairie Inn Harriers, the 44th edition of which goes today at 11:30 a.m. in North Saanich, with the start/finish line at the Tourist Information Centre just off the Pat Bay Highway.
Wodak is a seven-time women’s winner of the event and has also won the Royal Victoria Half-Marathon.
