Tearing up asphalt in beautiful BC

_If you just watched Top Gun and "feel the need for speed" then you definitely need to update your movie collection.  Moreover, you need to get outside and show the road your "need for speed".  Just because you are on vacation doesn't mean that you can't take a couple of hours out of your day to throw yourself into the nearest road race.  Fortunately for you, BC loves to run and our climate allows us to do so all year round.  There are terrific regional race series events that welcome all comers.  Just make sure you stick around afterwards and enjoy some of the local microbrews... 

For our out of province visitors, let us be the first to say "Welcome!"  BC is a huge place so we have sectioned our events according to the following regions:  

• Southeast - Kootenay
• Southcentral - Thompson Okanagan
• Southwest - Vancouver / Lower Mainland
• Northern BC (Cariboo)
• Vancouver Island. 

If you are planning a vacation here and wish to take in some races you need to be aware of the travel distances.  From our capital city Victoria to the Alberta border will require a 2 hour ferry ride plus 8-10 hours of driving!  From our southern to northern border it can take 24 hours.  If you have the time, do it!  You won't regret it.  Also, due to our vast size, we have several climate zones that offer a wide spectrum of outdoor experiences.  You are in for a treat!
