Marathon & Half Courses
The marathon is a loop course starting and finishing at Shelter Point Regional Park. The half marathon is a point to point route along the second half of the marathon route, starting at Texada School in Van Anda. Click maps to enlarge.
The course will be open for 6 hours; therefore, no walkers will be allowed in the full marathon. No runners under 16 years old will be permitted in the full marathon. Any runner with a disability must provide notice with registering so plans to accommodate can be made.
8k Course
The 8k starts at the Texada Airport, runs 180m up the road to the Lafarge Gate, turns around and goes down Airport Road to the intersection with Gillies Bay Road at the Community Hall. Cross over Gillies Bay Road and proceed along same route as the Full/Half to Shelter Point.
