We are ecstatic that the 2024 Oak Bay Half-Marathon and 10k have sold out. We appreciate the interest in our event and have allowed runners to transfer their race bibs to another runner up to April 15. We have extended our deferrals to 2025 up to May 19th and please note that transfers can only take place when there are spots available in one of the events. Sadly there has been a number of posts on social media enquiring about purchasing a bib from another runner – or about running the race as a “bandit”.
If someone runs the race with a bib registered to another runner then both the runner and the original bib owner face disqualification from all future Oak Bay Half Marathon events.
Anyone who is caught running as a “bandit” will also be barred from all future Oak Bay Half Marathon events. Any unofficial participants will also have their names flagged for other future road races across BC.
Racing with another runner’s bib means:
Racing as a “bandit” is just wrong. If you would like to run our beautiful race route then please consider running it the day before, or the week after. Do not take event resources away from those who were organized enough to register before the race sold out.
We would welcome anyone who does not have a registration as a volunteer – and encourage everyone to take advantage of our early-bird pricing when we open race registration for the 2026 race this October.
The 18th Oak Bay Half Marathon, Relay, 10km & Dairyland Kids 1km will be held on Sunday May 26. The race starts at 8:00 am (early start 7:00am) with a 4-hour time limit; the last participant will be off the course by 11:00am. For the safety of the participants, the Municipality of Oak Bay and Oak Bay Police Department have given us full road closures on the route so participants can use full lanes throughout the race.
Our races are all-inclusive and family friendly.
Congratulations to each and every one of you who stepped up to the start line.

If you can’t make the run, why not consider volunteering? We would love to have you join our incredible team of volunteers, road marshalls and coordinators.
This event doesn’t happen without the incredible volunteers!
