The Dream Nation Apparel Vancouver Island 24 hr is a running and walking event held at the Cowichan Sportsplex in Duncan, British Columbia. The competition takes place on a track where the primary goal is to cover as much distance as possible within a specific timeframe. The event venue includes space for participants to set up personal tents and aid stations on the infield. A total capacity limit of 50 participants on the track at any one time is enforced across all categories.
Participants can choose from several duration-based categories, available for solo entries or teams of 2-10 people:
- 24 hour (participants completing over 100 miles receive a belt buckle)
- 12 hour
- 6 hour
- 3 hour
- 100 km (ACU Canadian National Championship, restricted to ACU members)
- Virtual event (to be completed independently during September)
The 3, 6, 12, and 24 hour formats are open to athletes of all levels. For those competing in the longer durations, split times for the 50 km and 100 km marks can be recorded upon request.
The organizers provide some food and refreshments, though participants are welcome to bring specific nutrition. All registered individuals receive event swag. This race functions as a fundraiser for the Victoria Hospitals Foundation, supporting medical equipment and research at local healthcare facilities.
