Nautical Days 4-Miler 2023 – Age Group Results

What better way to celebrate British Columbia’s birthday than to take part in a true BC legacy event! The 53rd Annual Nautical Day’s 4 Mile Foot Race, the oldest continually held running race on Vancouver Island, is held annually on BC Day in downtown Comox. Old and young have charged through the streets of Comox since this great event started in 1971.

This short, 4-mile (6.4km) distance, is geared toward the whole family, offering fun and challenge for all pace levels. The start line is at the Town Hall in downtown Comox. From there, you will run along rolling streets through lovely neighbourhoods. You will catch some stunning views of the Salish Sea and Beaufort Mountain Range in the course of the route. Butchers Road is a spectacular stretch with a mix of douglas fir, pine, and other native species on both sides to give the feeling that you are running through a forest – so refreshing at the 2.5K point! At 4.5K, you will reach the water station. If it’s hot (it usually is,) don’t hesitate to experience the sprinkler here as well. Shortly after that, a kilometre-long gentle downhill will lead you to the final flat and fast 200 metre sprint to the finish line. Just right for your perfect finish!
