- Listed by iRun Magazine as the "Most Regal Race". The Royal Victoria Marathon (October 10) will dazzle you with a trip through the quaint town, almost constant views of the ocean, and handshake from the race organizer at the finish. The stately city’s namesake, Queen Victoria, showed endurance befitting a marathoner as she ruled for over 63 years. If ten is your lucky number this year’s race on 10-10-10 is a once in a lifetime bonus. In truly regal style, celebrate your accomplishment with a traditional English high tea at the historic Fairmont Empress hotel!
