After 35 years, there’s bound to be a few repeat attendees at the Times Colonist 10K, but there were also plenty of first-timers on hand.
The 35th Times Colonist 10k brought a flood of neon onto Victoria streets on Sunday morning with its colourful 1990s-inspired theme.
Carolyn said this year’s ‘90s theme made it easier to persuade Derek to join after several years of running it alone. Jake, who attends George Jay Elementary and runs track and cross-country, said he didn’t train much. “I run in the mornings around the sidewalk.”“Everybody was cheering for him, and he’d run faster — and then I would have to run faster,” he said, still slightly out of breath.
The Hindu temple has participated in the race since 2011 and has found it a great way to connect with the community, he said. About 50 people from four Port Hardy-area First Nations — the Gwa’sala-‘Nakwaxda’xw, Kwakiutl, Tlatlasikwala and Quatsino Nations — took part this year, she said.
