TC10K Road Information

TC 10K, Half Marathon & Thrifty Foods Family Run are happening this weekend. Here’s the route maps and road information you’ll need for the weekend.

The 10K route starts at Government and Belleville, heading north on Government/Wharf to Johnson, east on Johnson, south on Vancouver, east on Richardson, south on Moss, east on May, south on Memorial to Dallas Rd. The course then continues on Dallas, finishing in front of the Legislative Buildings.

The start/finish area at Government and Belleville will be closed from 5 am until 2 pm on Sunday April 26 (between Superior and Humboldt, along Government). Superior will be partially closed from 11:00 am to 11:30 am and Oswego will be closed from 11:00 am to 11:45 am for the Family Run. All intersections along the race route will also be closed. Roads inside of the race route will remain open, but motorists will have to cross the route at intervals from the direction of the police until roads re-open. Pedestrians will still be able to cross the race course, though there may be some delays. There will be no on-street parking on the race route from 4 am until 11:00 am on Sunday, April 26 All cars parked on the race route during this time will be towed at the owner’s expense based on event signage.

The current race course offers a significant advantage to motorists in that it allows for rolling openings of roadways as soon as the last runners pass through various points along the route. All streets on the race course will be closed as of 7:45 am on Sunday, April 26. Re-opening times will vary by location. The following is a list of approximate opening times:

The City of Victoria will be posting no parking signs on the course two days prior to the event to ensure that all residents are notified of road closures. The Victoria Police Department will be assisting with traffic control for this important community event, to ensure the safety of all participants.

The TC Half Marathon starts at 9:00 am with a 3-hour time limit; the last participant will be off the course by approximately noon. The race will be utilizing the roadways of Oak Bay and Victoria.  Participants will use full and half lanes throughout the route.

The Half Marathon starts at Centennial Stadium following the Ring Road to University Drive, turning on to Cedar Hill Cross Rd. The route crosses Cadboro Bay Rd to Upper Terrace Rd, bears right onto Uplands Rd, turns left onto Cotswold Rd to Midland and then to Beach. The route follows Beach past King George’s Terrace, turns right onto Victoria, left onto McNeil. McNeil becomes Richardson at Foul Bay, left onto Richmond to Fairfield, right onto Irving, to Crescent, which becomes Ross, left onto Robertson. Bearing left onto Hollywood, Hollywood becomes Dallas Rd. The route then joins the 10K route at Memorial.

Road closures have been estimated on the expected pace of the first and last runner entering and leaving one of nine zones. The zones have been aligned with logical areas of traffic control and municipal boundaries. A 10 minute buffer ahead of the first runner entering the zone and behind the last runner leaving the zone has been added.

Signs will be posted on the route notifying residents of the event.
