Comox Valley RV Half Marathon 2026
POST-RACE MESSAGE FROM THE RACE DIRECTOR
On behalf of the organizing committee, congratulations to the finishers of the 2026 Comox Valley RV Half Marathon. What a beautiful day to run! The race organizers hope that you had an enjoyable experience on our course, realizing your goals, and making new friends. We give special thanks to Comox Valley RV who has been the title sponsor for the Half Marathon for many years. We also want to give a shout out to Mainroad North Island Contracting LP for going above and beyond, providing traffic control to keep the race course safe for everyone.
Thank you to over 100 volunteers and the local neighbourhoods for sharing their roads with us. We also want to recognize and thank our sponsors and supporters listed below. Without them, we would not be able to put on such a great event. Please patronize them when you are able.

We hope to see you back at our event in 2027!
