What type of weather should I expect on the West Coast of Vancouver Island in June?
It is impossible to accurately predict but the weather can change fairly quickly. Be sure to bring clothes for wet weather as well as typical summer heat. Q: Is there water on the course? A: Yes, there will be at least 12 water stations for the marathon course and six for the half marathon. However, we also recommended you carry water with you. The conditions can be quite hot and humid, increasing your risk of dehydration. There are a variety of running belts, backpacks etc. on the market to carry your water supply. It is also recommended that you use this system on your training runs to get used to the weight and to make sure your water supply is ideal for the distance. Q: What if I am coming over from the mainland on the ferry? A: Be sure to do your research and plan ahead. The commute from the Nanaimo ferry terminal is approximately 3 hours, so be sure to give yourself plenty of time. Plus, it is highly recommended you make a reservation for the ferry you are interested in catching.
