2020 High Performance Application - GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon

The registered, not-for-profit Victoria Marathon Society administers the annual GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon and associated events.

The AIMS/IAAF-certified 42.195K GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon takes place annually on the Sunday of the Canadian Thanksgiving holiday weekend and is accompanied by a Half Marathon, 8K Road Race and a 1.2K Thrifty Foods Kids Run.

The 41st annual GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon is a beautiful, seaside course with some mild undulations.

The GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon weekend includes 3 events to choose from:

• Marathon
• Half Marathon
• 8K Road Race

The High Performance Athlete Program allows the GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon to offer top Canadian and International Marathon, Half Marathon and 8 K runners an environment in which they can succeed. The goal of the program is to create a World Class event, to attract top distance runners and to foster the development of Canadian runners.

Prizes are awarded for the top male and female, Open and Masters, Marathon and Half Marathon athletes, as well as an incentive for breaking the course record. Prizes are also awarded to the top 3 runners in the 8 K. Some elite athletes will be given the opportunity to share their unique stories with the local media.
