When registering for the Vancouver Island Race Series season pass you do not have to belong to a team or club, however:
If you do not belong to a club either: join one or if you would rather not, when registering, choose “unattached” as your team. This one extra step is there to remind people who are in a club to indicate so. The team or club competitions are fun and coaches and club admins want to make sure everyone is earning points for their team.
Please remember these are road running races and are open to runners, racewalkers, walkers, and wheelchair athletes only:
- No roller blades/inline skates
- No strollers
- No cycling or other forms of transportation are permitted except for designated official cyclists
- No headphones permitted. If you impede a participant, emergency response vehicle or race officials and cannot hear instructions, and are wearing headphones at the time, you are subject to disqualification
