The Comox Valley RV Half Marathon takes place in Courtenay, British Columbia each March; the 2026 edition is scheduled for March 22 and appears as part of the long-running Vancouver Island Race Series, a series with documented results going back to 1983. As a marquee mid-distance road race on Vancouver Island, Comox attracts series regulars alongside local and destination runners from across the Island.

The event is a single-day half marathon that traditionally starts mid-morning; the 2026 start time is listed at 11:00 a.m. The race is offered as an individual single-race entry and also forms one of the required longer-than-10K events for competitors using a Vancouver Island Race Series season pass. That integration makes Comox both a standalone destination race and a component in the series’ team and overall scoring structure.

What distinguishes Comox is its place in the Island Series community: it counts toward series awards and club points, and the race operates under the series’ road-running rules (open to runners, racewalkers, walkers and wheelchair athletes; no strollers, roller blades or cycling). The series draws strong local club participation and regional sponsorship — Frontrunners Footwear appears as a prominent series partner — so the event has a community-driven feel with club rivalry and season-long implications for regular competitors.

Registration for the Comox Valley RV Half Marathon in 2026 is sold out. Those planning future entries can watch for Vancouver Island Race Series season-pass and single-race registration windows, which typically launch during the Royal Victoria Marathon Expo and in the autumn for the following season.
