Saanich Physio + Bazan Bay 5K

2026 Bazan Bay 5K

For beginners to Olympians and everyone in between. For walkers and runners and all ages and abilities. Enjoy the Saanich Physio + Bazan Bay 5K as it runs along the oceanfront from Tulista Park, South for 2.5 kms and has one 180-degree turnaround. The very gentle up on the way out is hardly noticeable, and the gentle down on the way back is perfect to finish the second half of the race fast.

COVID - 19 Protocol

VIRA will abide by all Provincial Health Orders and guidance provided by BC Athletics regarding holding outdoor events and indoor gatherings. Participants are advised that, if Provincial Health Orders require it at the time of the race, proof of full vaccination and wearing a mask may be required to access outdoor settings and indoor venues - which include tents with two or more walls. Further, participants must be aware that Provincial Health Orders are frequently amended, which could result in different requirements for different races.

Some races have access to indoor venues, and those venues are mandating that participants are fully vaccinated and wear masks to go inside. For everyone to enjoy the full Island Series race experience we strongly encourage participants be fully vaccinated to enable you to participate in the post-race food and awards.

Safety is our number one priority, and each host club will work with their local health authority and venue to ensure a safe event for all participants and volunteers.

Anyone who is sick or showing signs of COVID-19 prior to any race must not participate for the safety of others.

These are road running races and are open to runners, racewalkers, walkers, and wheelchair athletes only: No roller blades/inline skates, no strollers, no cycling or other forms of transportation are permitted except for designated official cyclists. No headphones permitted. If you impede a participant, emergency response vehicle or race officials and cannot hear instructions, and are wearing headphones at the time, you are subject to disqualification.
