Harriers Thetis Lake Relay
The Harriers Running Club hosts the Harriers Thetis Lake Relay at Main Beach, Thetis Lake Park, Victoria BC. The event is a trail relay held on Remembrance Day and uses the main trail around Upper and Lower Thetis Lake.
Teams complete four nominal laps of approximately 5 km each, run sequentially in a clockwise direction. Teams of four normally have each member run one lap; teams with fewer members may continue by alternating laps. Two person Dual teams receive a 25 percent discount and Solo teams are half price. There is a mass start from the road for the first runner of each team and an exchange zone on the main beach for tagging the next runner.
Categories include Junior, Open, Master (40+), Veteran (50+), Super Veteran (60+), Dual, Solo, Family and Walk divisions, with separate Women, Men and Mixed options where noted. Mixed teams must include at least two laps by women; junior teams must have all members under 20.
Online registration has staged fees (early, regular, late) and an overall entry cap of 150 teams. The event uses manual timing: no bibs or chip timing; teams self record cumulative split times on a Timing Sheet and on Master Recording Boards. Amenities at the site include washrooms/changeroom, picnic tables, extra port a potties and space for team tents. Awards include ribbons for top three teams in divisions, rosettes for winners and draw prizes. Complete results are posted after the race.
